Story

As best friends for 44 years, we are embarking on our craziest adventure yet ... and over the years, there has been quite a few!

From the 2nd – 9th March 2025, we’ll be braving the freezing Swedish wilderness for eight days! Each day will be packed with learning new survival and cold-weather skills like melting snow for water, food rationing, and shelter building. The grand finale? A two-night survival phase in temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees, living in a self-built snow hole and relying on each other for survival. 🏔️🥶

All funds raised by our challenge will go directly to Nugent's 'Our Future Now' project, which focuses on four pillars: Employability, Accommodation, Poverty Alleviation, and Memorable Experiences. These pillars provide vital support to those in need, helping them build a brighter future.

As an employee of Nugent, Zoe is passionate about Nugent's mission and as a life long buddy, Collette is by her side every step of the way. Both work with vulnerable young people and adults, both have a caring, empathetic nature and have faced their own personal challenges in life. Together we will be taking on this challenge and we need YOUR help to make it happen!
