They will have good days and bad, but the adventure and challenges are something they will never forget’ said Shannon Small. Training began in chilly condi ons, and so too the efforts to cover the costs of the trip which are nearing the $50,000 mark. The biggest chunk of costs being that of the support boat and fuel costs.
