SOUTH – an update
This has been a pretty overwhelming week for me. So many of you have emailed me with your support that I've let my macho façade slip on occasion and got a little emotional. It's been especially cool to see people getting in contact who don't know me from Adam. They read a blog that linked to another blog that linked to my site and just got what we're trying to do. One of the first to own a mile was Brad Smith, who wrote:
'I am a quiet man living in the suburbs of western Sydney, Australia. I have a severe vision disability and am profoundly deaf. So what you guys are doing is something I would love to dare, dream, and live.
On this note Ben, best of luck to you and your team. Just know that I will be with all you guys in spirit. Not just for one mile, but for every single shred of snow, every single blink of that magnificent vast expanse.'
Thanks Brad for making my day. Moral support is every bit as important as financial backing, and I know from experience that it's this kind of message that will keep Tony and I going when things get tough.
If you haven't done so yet, we'd love you to own a mile of the next expedition.
