200KM Arctic Dog Sled - in support of Ty Hafan · 25 March 2009

Sadly, thousands of families in Wales live every day knowing their child’s life will be short. At the moment, they often face this without any care or support. Alone. Afraid. Isolated. Tŷ Hafan’s ambition is that when a child’s life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Between 25th and 31st January 2010 I will attempt a 200km dog sled, through the wilds of the Arctic Circle. The expedition will cross forested areas, steep inclines and open planes. The sledding element will be carried out in an area where temperatures can reach as low as minus 30c, and blizzards are common. The participants will accept personal risk, including frost bite, hypothermia, falling and dehydration (although, there must be a mobile beer seller out there, surely?...)

Unfortunately, the daily activety does not just involve sitting on the sled looking at the scenery, as the participants will be expected to dismount and run alongside the sled during the steep incline sections, and will also have responsibility for looking after their team of dogs during the full course of the event.

All funds raised will go directly to Ty Hafan, and will not be used toward the cost of the expedition.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ty Hafan 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!
