This expedition project is not just about skiing unsupported to the North Pole.  It is a 3-year journey with the multi-faceted challenges that include fundraising, training, networking, promoting, educating and speaking.  Although much of this work is not as exciting as skiing on the ice, the people we meet and work with along the way make experience truly special.  Whether lending us their support and expertise or working together in partnership, education or public outreach, these people make our small two-person expedition team feel a whole lot bigger.  

Tyler and I are constantly being asked 'How can I help?' or 'How can I be a part of your project?'.  We're genuinely flattered by these offers.  Below is a small list of ways in which you can join our team.  If you have any ideas contact us.
