Ben Walmsley

A 39-year-old who has spent his life playing every sport possible. Ben dabbled in triathlons several years ago, ending up doing an Ironman. He has no polar experience ( although a useful snowboarder for an Englishman!) and no marathon experience except for the one that was tagged onto the back end of the Ironman. Hence, he will looking for a PB at the Pole! Ben is married to Avril with three children, Joe, 7, Finn, 6 and Romilly, 4 and lives in Putney, London. He is a consultant solicitor at London law firm, Spring Law. He is raising money with Chris, Nigel, Andre and David for Great Ormond Street Hospital in London in memory of Mari-Simon Cronje.
