Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As my friends and family will know I never do things by half...and as such I have organised an Arctic challenge for April 2012... to sledge a team of huskies 250km from Norway, into Sweden through untouched nature, in order to finish at the world famous Ice Hotel in Jukkasjarvi. 

This is no ordinary charity challenge and will involve 8 days of physical and mental slog over lapland in temperatures going down to -30c. There are no Hotels, toilets or showers! The 'erm' luxury of a tent and a sleeping bag along with "boil in the bag" dinners are the daily life until the challenge is finished.

I have started training for the event already as being told there are no XXL sleeping bags available is a wake up call!

I have paid for the trip and flights myself and therefore any money donated will be going direct to my charity which is the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

As many of you will know my wife was diagnosed with MS in the last 12 months and given the fantastic oportunity to raise money for the MSC I hope you all dig deep into your pockets.

I will be updating the page as my training goes forwards and as further information on the trip comes in.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
