Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This event is a 250km 5day Husky expedition across Norway and Sweden .... and it’s not going to be easy!

I will be controlling and looking after a team of Husky dogs that will help me travel across the wilderness in temperatures as low as -20c .

As well as guiding the dogs and sled throughout the trip I will have to set up camp and cook for our team in the middle of nowhere and at times camp out in the freezing temperatures. 

I am funding the trip myself in the memory of my Grandad who was known to say that life is about what you do with the breaths you have available to take which inspired me to do something a little out the ordinary. This is not an easy task and one that’s fills me with as much dread as it does excitement however any amount you can donate is fantastic and I thank you for your support!

I hope to make some updates leading up to the event but when I’m out there I doubt I will have any way of letting anyone know how bings are going!

Wish me luck and let’s help to beat cancer !
