🌍🌍Greenland OCT 2022 #pinknicky💗 is on her way!

Whahoo! I'm off on my next adventure - it's very big, it's very scary, super remote and absolutely freezing! I'm heading back to the Arctic Circle to raise much need funds for two very special charities. And this time I am going even further north towards to the actual North Pole!

In October 2022 I will travelling to Greenland to take part in "The Coolest Half Marathon on Earth". It is a huge undertaking and completely out of my comfort zone, I have been dreaming about it for 4 years, planning for over a year and my relentless training has already started. (In the really full on weeks I expect to have a few nanna naps!)

Money raised will be divided between two charities Safe in Sussex and Chestnut Tree House. I have long been a supporter of both charities and this year my aim is to raise £5000.00

Here is a little summary! This list is only appearing here, as it's too daunting a prospect to spread it about where I could catch a glimpse of it and scare myself half to death! Take a look...

Greenland Mission:

🌍Half Marathon: 13. 3 miles in the ice and snow

🌍Location Greenland - 67°00′31″N 50°41′21″W - remote and furthest North I've ever been. Remote with scarce Wifi and very little signal - updates will be sketchy!

🌍Course Type: Difficult - we all need to run in spikes - Arctic Tundra, Greenland Glacier and the occasional crevasse! We will be watching out for Polar bears.

🌍Average Temperature: minus 16 degrees. MINUS 16 DEGREES!!! - with windchill it will be even colder.

🌍Shift 14 lbs. I'm a stone too heavy and need to look after my dodgy knees.

🌍Race must be completed in 4 hours so I really need to work on my pace. If any runners are still out on the course after this time they scoop you up on a snowmobile.

🌍Official Training starts: July 6th. A 16 weeks training programme will begin. Pre-Training has already started.

🌍Training programme includes: 70 training sessions which include 265 miles in training runs, plus 16 sessions in the gym. Plus lots of sleep and lots of food!

🌍It looks brutal but I know I will be crossing the finish line, a weeping mess or whooping with joy - only time will tell!

🌍This is the MOST important bit: How can you get involved and support this Greenland Mission?
