My story
www.mypolarchallenge.co.uk
On the 14th April at 7:32pm local time (GMT + 1 hour), I arrived at the True North Pole, having successfully skied the 'last degree' (ie 69 miles / 111kms) in under 5 days vs the scheduled 8-12 days. Apart from the extreme cold (temperatures lower than -60 C), conditions were excellent and we decided to make the most of them in the knowledge that conditions can change dramatically at any given moment and that the vast majority of attempts to reach the North Pole unassisted are unsuccessful. It was a truly amazing experience.
I intend to ski to the South Pole in December.
The primary motivation for each trip and the challenge overall is to raise awareness and money for charities that support illnesses that have profoundly affected members of my immediate family over recent years;- Mind, a leading Mental Health Charity in the UK and HDA, the Huntington's Disease Association.
My goal is to raise in excess of £100,000 in total for these charities.
I hope that you will support me in my endeavours and sincerely appreciate any contribution. Please note that contributions made on-line through Just Giving will be collected by the HDA and shared equally with Mind.
If easier, please send me a cheque made payable to Jo Oliver Charity Account to:
E52 Montevetro, 100 Battersea Church Road, London, SW11 3YL
Thanks again for your support.
