MADDY'S EPIC ARCTIC ADVENTURE
Imagine standing outside in -30C temps. Now imagine cross-country skiing in those temps. NOW...imagine skiing...pulling a 50kg sled...and camping in those temps. For 17 consecutive days.
Welcome to the world of Maddy Turnbull. In March of this year, Maddy will join an all-female expedition team that will attempt to cross the Finnmark Plateau in Norway’s Arctic Circle. The expedition will require Maddy to camp and ski the whole way, transporting food supplies and equipment on a 50kg pulk (sled).
We’re beyond pumped that Maddy is using this expedition to raise funds for Mini Mermaid Running Club. A long time supporter, Maddy brought our community to its greatest heights...literally. On 19th Feb 2017, Maddy reached base camp of Everest. Inspired by her father, who loved the mountains and dreamt of someday seeing Everest, Maddy reached Base Camp just 4 months before her father died.
Now Maddy will bring our community to our coldest destination. To train for this challenge, Maddy has mountaineered and winter camped in Scotland; learned to Nordic ski; practiced winter ice-climbing and mountain hiking; and gone wild cold-water swimming every week (brrrrrr.....!) She's drawing on every value of Mini Mermaids – self belief, resilience, courage, kindness (to herself and others) and embracing all of these powers with the joy of movement!
