Goal is hauling a sled a half marathon daily taking approx 10 hrs 210 km across the Arctic Circle Finnmark Plateau in an around -30 of a hostile environment unsupported south to north · 25 March 2024

1 in 5 children in the UK are affected by their parents' alcohol problems. They are often frightened and isolated, with no one to turn to for help. Nacoa responds by providing a free, confidential telephone, 1-2-1 chat and email helpline.

Story

Nacoa (The National Association for Children of Alcoholics) is a Bristol based charity founded in 1990 to provide help and support for everyone affected by a parent’s drinking.

My friend/client Lee Graham who is also crazy enough to join on the expedition unfortunately lost his mother from alcoholism so this charity means a lot to him personally.

We believe that every child has the right to a happy childhood and to live a creative and meaningful life but when drink is the family secret they are more likely to experience family violence, neglect and other problems in their own homes.
