Story

The final challenge in The Lewis Moody Foundation and Y.CO HEADSUP series will see Y.CO Co-founders Gary Wright and Charlie Birkett join former England Rugby Captain Lewis Moody MBE and Polar Explorer Alan Chambers MBE on an extreme trek across the Antarctic plateau to the South Pole, in order to raise vital funds to help people affected by a brain tumour for The Lewis Moody Foundation. 

This is an expedition in the most remote part of Antarctica, where physiological altitude will be close to 10,000 feet for many days in a row, and temperatures may drop below -40°C, with severe wind chill and storms. The team will complete 10 hours of ice travel each day in some of the coldest temperatures on Earth, to reach the Geographic South Pole in one of the most extreme tests of physical and psychological endurance that they will ever experience.

Why are we doing this? Brain Tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40. The money raised from this challenge will fund a first-of-its-kind clinical trial that is expected to deliver global impact for brain cancer patients worldwide.
