I wanted so badly to set off for the North Pole this year, but without the necessary funding, it just isn’t possible. At first, I felt disappointed, but then I reminded myself, this gives me an extra year to train, prepare, and secure the support I need.
This expedition is incredibly expensive, with costs covering aircraft drop-off, pick-up, and search and rescue. It will be the hardest challenge I’ve ever taken on, and the odds of success are slim. But I know one thing for sure, I can’t fail unless I try.
Just because there is a high chance of failure doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try anyway. The journey is worth it.
If you know me, you know I will do everything in my power to get to that start line. I’m determined, resilient, and not one to give up. There’s a lot of work ahead, but we have one year. Let’s go!
