Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In March 2013, Jen was diagnosed with MS at the age of 29. Since then I have watched her daily struggle to do things we all take for granted. Her Mum, Elaine , and I have already completed a sponsored zip wire and tandem parachute jump. I also abseiled off the Forth Railway Bridge. 

My next challenge will take a lot more effort and in many ways, apart from the cold, mimics what Jen has to do every day.

In January 2020 I will be taking part in a 3 day trek of 66 kilometres in the Arctic Circle. I will be pulling a pulk  weighing 25 kg and spend 2 nights in a tent where the temperature could be as low as -30 degrees C.

I have been training since May 2019 to build up my strength and stamina. The one thing I cannot prepare for is the cold. Hopefully my determination , and the knowledge that those with MS have to cope with varying degrees of disability every day, will take me through.

I have self-funded the trip so all monies raised will go directly to the Stop MS campaign.

Thank you.
