Story

As we will be the first ever Father/Son team, quite aptly named ‘The Original & the Remix’ to take on this challenge & with Bailey being the youngest athlete to take on this brutal arctic expedition covering 185km across frozen Swedish Lapland with temperature’s dipping as low as -35°, completely self sufficient we would like to raise both awareness & funds for 2 amazing charities that have been chosen by us both-

Anyone who knows Bailey will know his love of rugby so charity 1-

Our vision is that through the power of rugby, every child and young person has access to the same opportunities.

Charity 2 is a very important charity to so many young people-
