Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'd like to raise money and awareness for Age UK Sunderland.

On February 9th, I'll be racing in the Swedish Arctic, 293 mile (472km)self supported race from Abisko to Hemavan. The most is called 'Arctic Spine'

There will be a website for friends and family to follow the athletes progress.

The Montane Arctic Spine is a non-stop, 293 mile (472 km) foot race along the Kungsleden Trail in Arctic Sweden, one of the most stunning winter landscapes in the world. Starting at Abisko, you will journey through snowfields, Arctic tundra and frozen woodlands often breaking trail as you go towards your finish line at Hemavan. This is an expedition race that will require self-sufficiency and proficiency in extreme cold weather management. Experiencing temperatures as low as -40°C and winds as high as 40 mph, you will need to be able to navigate in whiteout conditions while still racing. You will need to have grit, determination and skills to get through to the end. It’s no surprise that this race is gaining the recognition as one of the toughest in the world.
