Supporting Epilepsy Action Blog

Kings College Presention - Monday 15th March 2010 - 6.30pm

First of all, an extended thank you to all who have sponsored my participation, in the Expedition to walk unsupported to the Magnetic North Pole in April 2010, in aid of Epilepsy Action.

So far I have £4,605 either sponsored or pledged - so I'm almost two-thirds of the way to my £7,200 target!

Recent weeks have been frustratingly slow - with all our kit now packed up there is little more to do other than go to the gym (every morning), read about the Arctic (every evening), monitor the sea ice online (weekly) and follow the blogs of other Expeditions planning to embark to various parts of the Arctic North.

The window for Arctic endeavours is early March through to May - the balance being stable sea ice, daylight hours and the general climate, namely the cold and wind.

I'm also of course continually looking at ways to raise awareness and sponsorship.

On Monday 15th March I'm delighted to have been invited back to present to the Epilepsy Support Group, at Kings College Hospital (Denmark Hill SE5 9RS), at 6.30pm.

I hope to see a few of you there!
