Stepstone steps in to sponsor Rosie Stancer's solo treks to the poles
StepStone is sponsoring Rosie Stancer in her epic bid to become the first woman to walk solo to both poles.
On March 6th, Rosie Stancer set off on an epic, solo journey from northern Canada to the North Pole. Walking, skiing, climbing and swimming across 415 nautical miles of frozen ocean to the geographic North Pole, she is currently enduring extreme weather conditions with sudden storms and temperatures down to -40°C and encounters with polar bears.
In addition, she is having to cope with the psychological stresses of being solo in extreme isolation in one of the harshest and most dangerous environments on earth.
StepStone CEO, Colin Tenwick, said the intimidating journey would put Rosie under intense physical and psychological stress.
"Rosie will be battling not only the elements but sleep deprivation, fatigue and hunger. Overcoming the feeling of isolation will require great mental strength but hopefully the knowledge that many people around the world are following her progress and willing her on will help Rosie reach her goal," Mr Tenwick said.
"Rosie's courage and tenacity to take on such a daunting challenge is an inspiration to us all at StepStone. We're proud to support her record attempt and hope that she will complete the journey safely."
