At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

I hope you will all support me, as I, the wuss of cold take on this arctic challenge.

From the 12th of April to the 19th of April 2014, I am going to spend eight days sledding through the Arctic Circle. The challenge is to sled 250km from Norway, into Sweden through untouched nature, in order to finish at the world famous Ice Hotel in Jukkasjarvi.
