When four of my friends returned from the Sahara after a life changing experience, I thought it was something I would have loved to do but I don't do well in the heat. So when the Polar Challenge came up, I jumped at the chance.

Trekking 120km in the Arctic Circle in temperatures ranging from 0 to -20 degrees Celcius (possibly minus 35 at night) over frozen lakes, camping in tents and dragging all my worldly possesions in a sled behind me.

I will be raising money for the wonderful Beaumond House which although I have never needed it, you hope that it is there if you ever did. I will be completely out of my comfort zone, and living in a way which, as a working mum of two is alien to me! No showers, toilets, or king size beds. No husbands to do the difficult or less desirable jobs and no children to raise your spirits.

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.
