SHARE. INSPIRE. ENABLE.

For every activity Josh undertakes, he set goals & thinks big about the potential outcomes – all whilst raising money & creating awareness for charities – sharing his journey along the way.

Josh’s aim is to be able to use his experience to inspire children in schools, hospitals & also take youth groups on adventures to help enable young minds & future leaders.

Josh has a passion for adventure & charity.

He has lead many organised
& self-organised challenges raising over £20,000
for various charities.

Josh has recently returned from a polar training course & expedition in Finse, Norway which has allowed him to learn key polar skills in preparation for his bid to ski to the South Pole & Climb Mt Vinson - Antarctica's highest Mountain, in late 2023.

Josh's dream of going to Antarctica stems from growing up seeing photographs of his late Norwegian Great Uncle, who went to the South Pole in 1961.

Josh aims to climb Antarctica's highest mountain, Mt Vinson and also ski to the last degree on the South Pole, pulling a sledge with a Rocking Horse on to raise funds and awareness for personally significant charities.

Josh also hopes to use this experience to inspire young people to pursue their ambitions of adventure and explore the outside world.

Raising awareness for those in need.

Josh has chosen the following two children’s charities to raise funds and awareness for:

Help in any way you can.

All donations, big & small, help make a difference.

Josh will be raising funds for Rocking Horse Charity, a Brighton based charity who support seriously and terminally ill children at the Royal Alexandra Hospital.

Josh raised over £5,000 for Rocking Horse and StreetVet in June 2021 when he pulled a tyre the length of the South Downs - a total of 170km - in 4 days alongside his wife Francesca.

“Josh certainly isn’t frightened of a challenge. In the recent years he has taken on a range of charity fundraisers, but this year he has really decided to push himself…”
