In 2012 I will be taking part in a 250km sledding challenge, driving a team of Huskies from Norway to Sweden. This will be a 6 day trek through the Arctic circle with temperatures getting to -20 degrees C and below at night. Those of you who know me will understand that this is a huge task and will take a lot of training and preparation, but worth it for the funds it will raise for the Red Cross!

I do have a blog about my preperation for the trek, so please do check that out at www.eiriansarcticchallenge.blogspot.com if you're interested!

My target is £4000 (steep I know!) however the money will be put to good use...for example...

£240 could provide support for two people for up to six weeks on returning home from hospital in the UK

£500 could buy a hand-operated water pump to provide safe water for an entire village in Asia

£1000 could help feed 300 malnourished children for a week

£2500 could train four ambulance crew members to provide emergency support in the UK

...so you can see why I've signed up to do this!

 

So please do make a donation, whatever you can afford, it will all help to achieve my goal! Thank you.
