New to dog sledding? This epic challenge is suitable for beginners, as full training will be given. All you need to join in is a thirst for extreme adventure!
200km north of the Arctic Circle, Kiruna is Sweden’s gateway to the snow-covered, stark beauty of Lapland. Your challenge takes place in the icy landscape between Kiruna and Gällivare.
Participants are asked to commit to raising a minimum amount through sponsorship, to cover the cost of the adventure, as well as ensuring vital funds are provided for our end-of-life and palliative care charity.
The fundraising journey will be supported by the Mountbatten team, including setting up a dedicated fundraising page, so you can keep track of each step towards your minimum sponsorship goal.
Mountbatten community fundraiser, Harri McNeil, says:
“The Mountbatten Isle of Wight team is so excited to be offering this incredible challenge. There are limited places, so I would urge you to sign up early, to avoid disappointment.
“Sweden is the most incredible country and you will not regret taking on this amazing adventure in aid of our palliative and end-of-life care services, supporting Islanders in their own homes and in our Newport hospice.”
