100 MILES ACROSS A FROZEN LAKE IN THE DEPTHS OF MONGOLIA. BY ANY MEANS…

In winter, the ice freezes across its entire near-100-mile length to a depth of over a metre thick, creating for Rat Race the ultimate adventure challenge course. This is the Mongol 100 – the most surreal, audacious and hauntingly beautiful adventure challenge known to Man. The objective is to traverse the entirety of the lake from north to south and I will be taking this on in March in support of the "Ambitious Together Foundation"

> Every generation holds incredible potential, yet too many young people are forced into adulthood without the support they need to succeed. At the Ambitious Together Foundation (ATF), we believe that with the right guidance, resilience can become opportunity and lived experience can become leadership.

> ATF is a UK-registered charity building the nation’s first mentoring infrastructure for care-experienced, care-adjacent, and marginalised young people aged 16–30. Many have faced trauma, loss, or instability, leaving them without networks or access to opportunity despite their strength and ambition.

> Across the UK, one in three care leavers becomes homeless within two years, and nearly one million young people are not in education, employment, or training. This is not a lack of potential—it is a lack of support.

> Your support helps to deliver safe, AI-supported mentoring that builds confidence, improves wellbeing, and opens pathways into education and work.
