Hey everyone, it's Paul here. Some of you might know me as 'that auction guy', but this time I'm stepping outside the office and into the sub-arctic wilderness!

That's right, I'm taking on the epic 340km Yukon Arctic Ultra – a gruelling trek through some of the planet's most unforgiving terrain. Think bone-chilling temperatures, breathtaking scenery, and a test of both physical and mental resilience. Why, you ask? Well, for two reasons: a good cause and a good push!

A Cause Close to My Heart

This adventure isn't just about me conquering the cold. I'm raising money for Llamau, an organisation doing incredible work to make sure no young person or vulnerable woman should ever have to experience homelessness. Their dedication to supporting everyone as an individual truly inspires me, and I want to do my part to help them continue their mission.

Pushing My Limits

Let's be honest, I thrive on a challenge. Those of you who know me can attest to that! I've always pushed myself, and this Arctic Ultra feels like the ultimate test. For the next 4 months, I'll be putting myself through a rigorous training regime – you might see me dragging a tyre through town in the British Winter, or fuelling myself with enough calories to keep a polar bear happy at the local!

How You Can Help

Every donation, big or small, will get me closer to the finish line and help Llamau continue their critical work. Imagine – your contribution could pay for a mum to attend a You and Me, Mum session, supporting a victim of domestic abuse to develop relationships with her children and strategies for keeping her family safe.

So please, dig deep, donate what you can, and be a part of this incredible journey! Together, we can make a real difference.

Stay tuned for updates!

Follow my progress on this page as I document my training journey, share pre-race jitters (there will definitely be some!), and hopefully, celebrate crossing that finish line in the Yukon. Thank you for your support!
