My story

 
Please support Team Telegraph.

Along with my two team mates, Vicky Wallis and Will Lawrie, I will be racing to the Magnetic North Pole in April and May 2005. We will be travelling over 360 miles across some of the world's most inhospitable terrain that is also home to 80% of the planet's polar bear population.

We will be dragging behind us over 80KG of supplies and equipment and hope to be on the ice for 14 hours a day. The other ten hours will be split between feeding and looking after ourselves (approx five hours) and the remaing four will be spent sleeping.

It's going to be the most physically and mentally challenging thing that I have ever undertaken.

90% of all donations will go to The Foundation for Study of Infant Deaths, the rest will go to helping children where I live in Nottingham. Please dig deep safe in the knowledge that I'm going to be in icy purgatory for five weeks.
