Episode Twenty Three - Geoff Wilson, Gates of the Arctic

In this second instalment of hair raising adventures with Dr. Geoff Wilson the 3x world record holder and polar explorer, he takes us to Alaska where a father and son camping trip turns horribly wrong in the attempt to climb the treacherous Mt. Doonerak, in the Gates of the Arctic National Park.

Geoff Wilson and the team behind The Longest Journey aim to raise $250,000 to support the ongoing work by the McGrath Foundation by the time Geoff completes his solo and unsupported expedition across Antarctica. He intends to break the current record of 5,200 km for the ‘longest solo unsupported polar journey’ in human history crossing the coldest naturally occurring point on planet Earth, the summit of Dome Argus. No human has climbed Dome Argus on foot, a true adventure first!
The expedition will take 80 – 90 days and when completed will be the longest unsupported polar journey ever made by man. Geoff will be motivated throughout his challenge by the selfless donations that are pledged by all of us back home, as we all work together towards raising funds for a wonderful cause.

We are all reminded that there are many women, men, family and friends being impacted by this devastating disease. The McGrath Breast Care Nurses provide support and guidance through a difficult time for sufferers and family alike.

You too can help, pledge a donation today!
