Sponsorship and Fundraising
To take part in the expedition I have to raise £10 000. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact me via the Fuchs Foundation. I am particularly looking for a kit sponsor. In return I can offer your company logo on expedition kit and exposure at the Lecture and Reception event at the Royal Geographical Society on Wednesday 24th October 2007. This is a prestiguous event which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition 1955-58 and wishes us success for our expedition. You will receive publicity in press releases and on the Fuchs Foundation website.
Many thanks to all those who have kindly supported me.
