<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>GBP/USD:1.60</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In April I have decided to take up the ultimate challenge and trek to the North Pole in support of <strong>SPARKS. </strong>With our guide we will trek unaided for 10 days across the&nbsp;Arctic ice on skis and foot. Walking for 8-10 hours a day dragging all of our equipment and supplies in a 35kg sled. We will cover a distance in excess of 150 miles (depending on the ice) in temperatures ranging from -5C to -35C.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #1f497d;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/North-Pole-Trek-for-Charity/151702551555939"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/North-Pole-Trek-for-Charity/151702551555939</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I began intense training for this expedition at the beginning of the&nbsp;year for what promises to be an extreme physical challenge and an extraordinary mental challenge.&nbsp;To follow my progress and track updates you can go to my website <a href="http://www.mitruenorth.org">www.mitruenorth.org</a> or follow me on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.twitter.com/mitruenorth">www.twitter.com/mitruenorth</a>. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
