This journey is personal for us all. My father and brother both lost battles with cancer. They had amazing support from these charities and for me, each of the c 200,000 ski/steps pulling 60kg sledges in the -45 degrees temps, will be for them. All costs of the event have already been fully covered. I guarantee EVERY £-$-€ donated will go to the charities - Cancer Research UK and St Wilfrid's Hospice new 'Dream Building' appeal that looks after terminally ill.
Thanks so much for your support. Please check-out the websites to see the personal North Pole expedition stories (why, what, how):
