Story
Hello and welcome to my Just Giving page!
In Feb 2023, I will be spending three days in the Arctic Circle, travelling 68km on brutal terrain.
I turned 40 last year, and I wanted to really push myself physically and mentally, and I love walking in the snow so this seemed like the perfect personal challenge. I also really want to make my daughter proud, (as it turns out she's just upset she's not doing it with me!). Dreams come True is an amazing charity and I'm proud to be raising funds on behalf of them.
The trip is about endurance; I’ll be pulling along a pulk with provisions and equipment for survival, sleeping in tents and with the temperature dropping as low as -30, it will definitely be out of my comfort zone and a huge challenge.
The trip is self funded and all donations go directly to Dreams Come True - an incredible charity supporting children and families in many ways. They are a national children's charity, whose mission is to enrich the lives of children & young people with serious and life-limiting conditions, by making their dreams come true.
A dream generates feelings of security & happiness, for children & young people whose lives have been turned upside down. The day to day of everyday life can seem like a mountain to climb, but with a dream a life can be transformed. Even the simplest of dreams can bring a sense of hope and normality. By donating you are making Dreams Come True!
