Hi, my name is Luca. I joined
Oracle in 2005 and I am currently working as a Dell EMEA Channel Manager UK, Ireland and Iberia and I am responsible for the
Oracle Dell relationship for the above 3 countries. On the 31st of March 2011 I will set out
to complete the ultimate challenge. I will walk and ski across the frozen Arctic
to the Top of The World: the GEOGRAPHIC North Pole. While dragging all my supplies over 60 Nautical miles of moving sea ice, in temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius. I will spend 8
to 10 days preparing, working, living and travelling
to the North Pole
to 90 degree north. In November I spent a full week of training for this trip.( watch my video). This gave me the opportunity
to meet the rest of the team, testing all the gear and carrying an 18inch tyre around the country side for 8 hours per day. I am honored
to embark this challenging journey
to support the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children (NSPCC). The NSPCC helped more than 750,000 young people
to speak out for the first time about abuse they had suffered. I am a firm believer that in order
to build a stronger, healthier and wiser society we need
to support and help future generations from the beginning of their life journey. This is why cruelty
to children must stop. FULL STOP. Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed
to NSPCC. Virgin Money Giving is a non-profit organization and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. If you are a UK tax payer please don't forget
to select Gift Aid. Gift Aid is great because it means charities get extra money added
to their donations at no extra cost
to the donor. For every £1 donated, the charity currently receives £1.28 when you add Gift Aid. Anyone who would like
to find out more can visit my Facebook page ‘Luca North Pole charity fundraising trip’ I really appreciate all your support and thank you for supporting the NSPCC. Tags van Technorati: Channel Manager,challenge,Arctic,North Pole,NSPCC,cruelty
