My Australian inspiration - Jade's Polar Quest

Jade's solo Polar Quest

 ABOUT JADE

Jade is a 15 year old student from Melbourne, Australia who loves being active and outdoors.

Jade had climbed Mt Kosciuszko and completed her first triathlon season by age 6. By age 12, Jade had conquered the Mt Everest Base Camp Trek and was inspired by the courage of two women she befriended on that trip – one that was aiming to reach the summit and who had previously skied to the South Pole solo and the other who had been the first woman to summit Everest without oxygen.

This inspiration has led Jade to undertake her own quest… Jade’s Polar Quest.

Jade’s Polar Quest will see her cover almost 2,000 km over three expeditions (totalling almost four months on ice) on skis, dragging a sled of around her own body weight in some of the most extreme and beautiful environments on the planet.

• EXPEDITION 1 :   NORTH POLE – COMPLETED - 4 April 2016

• EXPEDITION 2 :  GREENLAND CROSSING - April 2017

• EXPEDITION 3 :  SOUTH POLE - December 2017

In undertaking her Polar Quest, Jade is also seeking to inspire and empower young women around the world to be more active and chase their dreams.

It is truly an inspiring achievement of a young girl against the cold harsh extreme weather condition in North pole. Battling loneliness, wilderness and a mountain of physical and mental challenges. I can only hope to emulate her spirit, confidence and perseverance. Go Girl power!
