This is a world breaking quest that presents a rare opportunity to associate your enterprise with one of the last remaining feats of human endeavour on the planet.
In 20 years time, some scientists believe the North Pole ice cap, one of the earths defining features from outer space will disappear during the summer months.

All in a Good Cause Supporting North Pole Solo 2013 will benefit Rosie’s charity, Special Olympics GB. THE CHARITY
The Special Olympics charity was established to support those with learning disabilities to achieve high levels of sporting excellence, despite the odds that life has dealt them. Their accomplishments lend them, their families and their carers, integrity and pride. Rosie has worked with the charity ‘Special Olympics GB’ since 2001, and is currently an Ambassador on their behalf, working to draw attention to their cause. The special relationship she enjoys with the charity is born of their shared values of courage in the face of odds and seeking integrity through pursuit of excellence in physical challenges. On the expedition, these SOGB’s athletes with their determination and courage, will spur her on and serve as a daily reminder for Rosie to challenge herself to the limit. Having taken the Special Olympians flag with her across the Antarctic Ice cap on her triumphant solo expedition to the South Pole in 2003, and again over the frozen arctic ice in 2007, she will now take it with her across the Arctic Ocean and plant it, or float it if necessary, at 90 degrees north, the North Pole. “When embarking on such an expedition, one always trumpets about the charity that the expedition is supporting but not long into the journey there is a switch in roles. When the going gets tough, when despair, fear and pain kick in, it is these Special Olympians with their own particular brand of courage and perseverance that I find myself looking to for inspiration to keep me going. They become my support, rather than I theirs . By taking their flag with me on this epic journey, I hope to lend a louder voice to their cause in an area otherwise dominated by other sporting charities. I will shout their name from the top of the world”.
“ Let me win but if I cannot, let me be brave in the attempt” SOGB”.
NORTH POLE SOLO 2013
The expedition will also be active in raising awareness of the needs of the Inuit community in Resolute Bay where Rosie has been involved in the creation of a new recreation centre for its residents. THE COMMUNITY
16 years ago, whilst acclimatizing in the remote Inuit settlement of Resolute in Canada, before her first Arctic expedition, Rosie was struck by the lack of recreational facilities for the 250 strong population, especially the children. Deprived of any mental or physical stimulation, the inhabitants are driven into a mire of drink, drugs and inevitable domestic violence. Having learnt from her involvement with Special Olympics how sport can lend integrity to disadvantaged individuals, Rosie joined the drive for a recreational centre where shared sports and activities could lend focus and enjoyment for the local community. The Centre has finally been constructed. Now more sporting equipment is needed. Product sponsorship of this or sports clothing is an important part of the sponsorship dimension.
THE RESEARCH
Physiological research will be undertaken before, during and immediately after the expedition. Tests will be carried out by sports physiology and psychology experts in the London Olympic laboratories during the preceding year, then by Rosie herself during the expedition and final tests back in the laboratories immediately upon return. The expedition is recognised as a unique opportunity to gather valuable data, recording and analysing the effects of a lone female in a highly perilous environment, in extreme isolation, for a prolonged period of time. Rosie has carried out similar research on each of her previous expeditions and is as passionate as she is dedicated to its execution. The value of this research is reflected in the publication of Rosie’s earlier solo expedition on Antarctica ‘Mood and Human Performance’, edited by Andrew Lane, published by Nova Publishers.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Rosie sees herself neither as a scientist nor a politician but rather as a ‘polar pedestrian’ who is fortunate enough to be in a position to gather unique data on a regular basis as she crosses the ice. This is essentially the basic readings and reports on the ice conditions, the drift, and the meteorological recordings which will be used as comparative material to that gathered not just by herself on previous expedition but those of a more stationary scientific nature. She sees the most important legacy of this research as being able to relay back to live audiences her first-hand observations on the changing conditions of the Arctic in straightforward language during presentations, debates and interviews.

Now is the time for you to become part of this epic and historic journey to the North Geographic Pole.
NORTH POLE SOLO 2013
North Pole Solo is a valuable opportunity to align your own corporate values with that of the expedition. Rosie herself is the embodiment of the idea that with self-belief, motivation and application, anyone can push themselves beyond their perceived limitations and achieve the extraordinary. Her expedition offers a glimpse into our fundamental need to challenge the edges of human endurance. Rosie’s previous expeditions have also enjoyed the patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales, with title sponsors including Mars, Snickers, McVitie’s and M&G ISA. Once sponsorship is secured, the expedition will be announced to the press at a launch event in London from Clarence House.
Rosie will be followed by major media outlets before, during and after the expedition. Rosie is a media natural, eloquent and charismatic with the press and on camera. She has appeared on BBC1, BBC Radio 4, BBC Breakfast, BBC Worldwide. GMTV, Sky, ITV, CNN and featured in The Times, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Sun, Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday, Reuters and other leading outlets. Both a captivating and commanding public speaker, Rosie has inspired audiences from 12 to over 1,000 at events as diverse as the Royal Geographic Society with IBG, corporate motivational events in China, Hong Kong, Japan, USA and Europe e.g. Portugal, Spain, UK.

Why Rosie? Immensely experienced Rosie Stancer is a highly respected polar veteran With four major expeditions to her name, she holds the record for having travelled three times further than any other female solo explorer across the arctic ice cap.

And Why Now? Rosie is at the peak of her mental and physical condition She has the strength, experience and hunger to achieve this record. She has completed her analysis of the requirements for success, knowing that her tactics must adapt with the changing environment. Owing to deteriorating ice conditions on the Arctic Ocean, the opportunities to achieve the first and probably the last woman’s North Pole solo are becoming more remote as each year passes.
~ 2007 she reached within 89 nautical miles of the North Pole. ~ 2004 she walked solo to the South Pole in just 43 Days. ~ 2000 she was a member of the first British all women team to the South Pole. ~ 1997 she was a member of the much publicised first all women relay team to the North Pole.
