Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So. Im travelling the infamous 'Road of Bones' built by Stalins Gulag prisoners in far eastern Siberia, Russia in February! And because I've seen first hand the love and care that Love Russia gives to the children and vulnerable adults in Russia I couldn't think of a more appropriate and worthy cause to try to raise money for. This isn't your average road trip... Its likely temperatures will not get much above -40 celsius. The route we'll be taking is thus: Yakutsk - Khandyga - Oymyakon - Ust-nera - Susuman - Magadan. A total of over 1500 kilometers over 12-15 days. The village of Oymyakon, where I'll be for 3 days, holds the record for the coldest inhabited place on earth at -71.2 degrees celsius. Please pledge your support. I'd like to think that when its -56 and I can't feel my toes anymore that it wasn't all in vain! Thank you in advance and many blessings. - William
