My story

Hi, I’m James and thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Yes you are not seeing or hearing things! I am actually going with 14 others on an Arctic survival challenge! It’s Man vs. Wild!

The weather in February is due to be a chilly –30*C, but that’s okay as I am told it may warm up to –15*C!

I will be ice fishing for food, constructing snow holes for shelter, cross country skiing (should be interesting with my two right feet!), husky dog sledding and getting very cold and smelly! Although it may appear this is fun fun fun…. rest assured that this in reality will be very cold, we will endure long days on minimal food rations (my fishing skills are after all a little rusty) and very hard work in an environment that is very unforgiving. We will be putting our bodies through hell for those less fortunate than ourselves.

"One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure" (William Feather – American author)

You will see above that my fundraising target is £2500, please, please, please sponsor as much as you can to help me with this challenge!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: GCap Charities - Severn Sound Money Mountain gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

Thank you

James
