Thought I'd share this with you guys...
In 2012 I intent to replicate the achievement set out in the book Facing the Frozen Ocean by Bear Grylls. Bear, as part of a team of four, undertook the first ever unassisted crossing of the North Atlantic in an open top RIB.
This will be done in aid of the Royal British Legion and the RNLI (provided neither have any concerns about what is being attempted).
There's a build-up of almost two years for training, pulling the team together, getting the funding etc.
As such, I wonder if I could impose upon your goodselves a couple of favours:
1. If any of you are on Facebook, could you please join/like this page please.
2. If any of you work for any companies which may be interested in sponsoring this attempt (unfortunately it won't be especially cheap...), please let me know. There should be some excellent publicity opportunities. We're hoping for some good press coverage, as well as a few events ahead of the challenge.
3. Not possible just yet, but once the two charities have cleared the event, a Just Giving page will be set up. When this is, anything you can spare would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if there is anyone interested in taking part or assisting in any other way, then that would be wonderful. (Good excuse for a cigar at the finish line...)
