Meet Dale
Dale is getting ready to ski to the South Pole, the latest of a series of fundraising adventures he has participated in since undergoing the life-saving surgery nearly 13 years ago.
Dale is the reason we are going to the South Pole.
Have you thought of giving the gift of life to someone?

Baffin boots that resist temperatures up to - 100 C.
I will wear this light windproof jacket most of the day. As soon as I stop for a break I will put on the OSC MISSION Parka
