Here is a note about David and Emma
At the end of November David and Emma will join a small
group of about 25 runners to race up to 150 miles on the
Antarctica peninsular, entry to this race is by invitation
only and requires previous experience in other similar
events. Adventure racing has taken David and Emma to many
places including the mountains and moorlands of Britain,
Europe, Mongolia, The Gobi desert in North West China, The
Sahara desert in Morocco, The Atacama desert in Chile, The
jungles of North Vietnam, The Himalayas of Nepal and India
and now the icy wastes of Antarctica.
Much of there training is with their two faithful friends
and former long-term residents of the RSPCA, Jerry and
Rosie.
Jerry
on the right has trained with David and Emma for over 4
years where Rosie is more recent with only a few months
since she left the RSPCA animal rescue centre on Clough
Road. Both dogs were former “case” dogs both resident at
the centre for about 10 months before going to live with
David and Emma
The race is over 150 miles, but in previous years
conditions with over 100 mile an hour winds and
temperatures of minus 40oc have meant that the race has
sometimes been “who gets the furthest, add to that a mixed
terrain of deep snow, rocks, ice you can appreciate why
many runners consider this race as the “Ultimate test”.
The RSPCA animal rescue centre on Clough road is a separate
local charity and has to raise its own annual running costs
each year, that is a difficult task in itself but like many
people the centre was hit badly by the floods of “summer
2007”. The amount of work the centre can do is limited by
the finances available and relies heavily on the generosity
of people in the Hull and East Riding area.
David and Emma are trying to use this event to raise funds
for the RSPCA centre on Clough Road, you can help in many
ways, if you have access to the internet you can go
to
www.justgiving.com/icerun
and using a credit or debit card you can safely sponsor
David or Emma, alternatively you can make sponsorship
donations at the RSPCA centre on Clough Road in Hull or
donate on one of the sponsorship forms being circulated in
Hull and East Riding
David and Emma also do evening slide shows and talks on
there adventures, which also includes there other passion
for the mountains and includes Everest, Machu Picchu and
many others, they do not take any fee or charge any costs,
just a donation to the local branch of the RSPCA
