I was happily surprised by Bert Poffé, asking me to be the patron of the “Algonquin Winter Crossing 2006”.
With pleasure I will use all my polar experience to help the team out, achieving this Crossing of the Algonquin Park.
I know Bert from a past career where quality and safety go hand in hand. Both skills will now be without any doubt the key for success in this almost arctic atmosphere.
It’s a select club, those looking for the secrets of frozen landscapes. It’s all about passion, based on deep respect for mother nature, pure and hard to reach.
With enough passion and strength, qualities which I know this Crossing Team certainly has, the North will, step by step, reveal her secrets and her beauty.
From experience I know that this kind of events is only possible because of a solid cooperation between the expedition team and so many other people, willing to help out where possible.
A part from reaching their personal goals the expedition team wants to raise funds for “SOS Children’s Villages Canada” and “SOS Kinderdorpen/Villages d’Enfants Belgium”. As you can see for yourself this organisation is a chain reaction of “intensity”, “passion” and “fire”.
No doubt they will need some “fire” to withstand the cold environment they are heading for in January 2006.
Please support them!
Good Luck guys,
Dixie Dansercoer
