Story
Thanks for making the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Beginning on June 29th 2022, I'll be undertaking an epic 6000 mile, solo Arctic motorcycle adventure challenge.
"Thats around the same distance as if I were leaving my base in Leicester, to reach the southern tip of Africa!"
Why
Creating awareness, and fundraising for my friends at Alex's Wish. A Leicestershire charity, with a global reach. Supporting their mission to eradicate Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a muscle wasting, life limiting condition, affecting young boys all over the world. Which currently has no effective treatment or cure.
Where
The midpoint for my challenge and part of the inspiration, is the iconic 'Children of the Earth monument'. A life size bronze sculpture of a mother and her young son, overlooking the arctic ocean.
Located 500km North of the Arctic Circle... at Nordkapp, “Europe’s most Northern point”
Challenges
During this challenge I'll be travelling alone though some spectacular scenery and remote roads. Dealing with extremes of weather, wildlife and Arctic tundra. It will be a test of myself, my kit and my bike. As I travel solo along some of Europe's most notorious roads, paved and unpaved.
I'll be unsupported, on my journey carrying 'hopefully' all the necessary essentials with me, and even camping as I go...
In the true spirit of the open road, I'll go where I see adventure. I want to get a real taste of the culture and country, whilst keeping everything spontaneous. So, quite literally, anything could happen.
Follow along…
As a virtual passenger on my social media channels. I’d love for you to experience the journey with me.
And maybe, just maybe, you'll feel inspired to support my adventure and my fantastic friends at Alex's Wish!
Be awesome, and please Give generously if you can!
Thank you.... Stan.... The Inspired Rider :)
ps I'm 100% self funding the challenge. Which means every Donation directly funds research in to finding a cure for Duchenne.
