Ben: I've been lucky enough to be selected to go on a group expedition to Ecuador organised by the Dorset Expeditionary Service. I passed a tough selection weekend to earn my place and now I am trying to raise some funds to contribute to the cost.

A group of us are going to brave the cold waters of Weymouth Harbour on Christmas Day for The Lions Annual Harbour Swim.

I'd appreciate any support you can give as with the skills I learn on expedition I'd like to pass them on to students wanting to experience the same challenge in the future.

Thank you.
