Story
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
From the 21st to the 27th March I will be competing in the Rock & Ice Diamond Ultra Race' which is a 6 day, 225km self-sufficiency marathon run from Yellowknife in the Canadian North West Territories. All competitors must tow a sled or pulk containing all kit required with the exception of water and tents which are provided by the organisers.
It's basically a marathon a day in racing snow shoes where temperatures can dip below -40 so if you can in these times please give generously for this very worthy charity!
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: McMillan will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support, you can follow my preparation, training and progress during the race: at http://chris-on-ice.blogspot.com/
