Alice 2 Antarctica

Most of us love challenges. Some of us even like physical challenges. But when you can combine a challenge with a terrific cause - how good is that!

One of my friends from Melbourne (Dr) Sharyn Fitzgerald is a medical researcher by profession, a runner by passion, and a lovely and determined lady by nature.

Over the next few months she will run a marathon in the middle of Australia (Alice Springs) and in Antarctica. In fact, she will be the first Australian woman to complete a marathon in Antarctica.

She's doing it not just for the challenge, but to support a cause that she feels passionately and knows a lot about - the Centre for Indigenous Vascular and Diabetes Research.

PeopleTeamsLeaders Pty Ltd are really proud to be the first confirmed corporate sponsor of Alice 2 Antarctica. You can read more about Sharyn's efforts here and here. And of course, feel free to add your support to her very worthy efforts.
