In January I will be taking part in the Arctic Wilderness Challenge in order to raise money for Ned’s Fund.

Ned’s Fund will be devoted to supporting charities which give young people like Ned a chance to do something entirely new and help them discover more about themselves. The aim is to help as many young adults as possible who find themselves with no focus or direction and avoid this happening to any other families in the future.

Ned was a close friend of my brothers who tragically took his own life at Witley station in July 2017, aged 20 years old. He was a bright, funny and very much loved son, brother and friend. He will be extremely missed and I will do anything I can to raise awareness to such a wonderful cause.

The challenge itself will be a real test of my endurance, where I will be dog sledding approx. 45km (5-7 hours a day) for 3 days across Sweden. It is a mix of survival techniques and learning how to live like the Sami people, spending each night in wilderness base camps where I am in charge of food, digs and feeding the dogs.

Please help by donating to the charity through my page.
