Team Independence '09

Thats right its official David and Chris plan to gather and head an International South Pole Expedition in 2011. This unbelievable event will be in celebration in breaking one of the last great barriers on the planet. The lost frozen continent of Antarctica and the South Pole.
Persons with disabiliites and those without but willing to to join in the fight for inclusion need apply. If you are prepared to live on the edge and do something that has never been dreamed possible then this is for you. David is going to modify his power chair and plans to "run" the fridgid and rare South Pole Marathon at "Patriot Hill" near the coast of Antarctica. He hopes other people with disability will fund raise and take up the challenge at that other great people who love to Marathon will help the Team by fundraising and running under the disability awareness banner. While the runners are running the plan is for Chris and a similar makeup of climbers (hopefully some some old friends) will join in an attempt on Mt. Vinson the highest mountain in Antarctica. Once the groups rejoin they will then fly towards the pole and then make the final push overland to the South Pole on the 100th anniversary year. There is lots of work to do but we now know that it can be done.
