Kevin Gaskell, President of Eurotaxglass, is embarking upon an expedition to the South Pole in 2009 to raise money for charity. Both Kevin and Eurotaxglass are longstanding supporters of BEN, and we wish him the very best of luck on this journey.
Kevin aims to walk unsupported to the South Pole, along with his 18 year old son, Matt. They'll be pulling 80KG sledges for up to 300 miles in average temperatures of -40C and typical winds of 50 knots at an elevation of 10,000 feet.
Kevin and Matt hope to raise £20,000 to go towards funding critical leukaemia research. To find out more about the expedition, visit www.southpole2009.com
