UHCW Arctic Survival Challenge 2025 · 23 February 2025

We make things better to help staff, patients & their families

Story

Support UHCW Acute Medicine Department

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am raising money for UHCW Acute Medicine Department to help support staff and patients. Your donations will go toward improving health and wellbeing through a variety of impactful projects.

The Challenge: Pure Survival!

This isn’t your typical fundraiser. I will spend 7 days in the Arctic Circle in Sweden, where temperatures can drop as low as -35°C. During this time, I’ll:

Ski across the Arctic tundra

Build igloos and snow holes to sleep in

Survive on basic food supplies (and maybe even fish through ice holes!)

Our team of 12 began training earlier this year, preparing for what will undoubtedly be a massive physical and mental challenge—and a very, very cold one!

Why Support This Cause?

Your donations will directly benefit UHCW Acute Medicine, providing resources and initiatives to:

Enhance patient care

Boost staff wellbeing

Drive meaningful health projects

How You Can Help

I hope you’ll join me in supporting this incredible cause. Any contribution, no matter the size, makes a huge difference.

Together, we can help make a positive impact.

Thank you for your support!
