Simon Cain

Simon is running the North Pole Marathon to raise funds for the RNLI, https://www.justgiving.com/Simon-Cain3/ , and Harefield Hospital, https://www.justgiving.com/Simon-Cain2/. Although he has run marathons and half marathons in the past, he is hoping to just get around and would be happy with a half marathon finish. As a health, safety and environment consultant / trainer and an ex-Marine Mammal Medic for BDMLR, he also hopes to raise awareness of marine and polar environmental issues via his participation in the race. Simon has travelled to every continent, including over 100 countries; followed in the footsteps of Franklin and Perry down the North West Passage; and was a UK instructor on the Fogle / Cracknell Race to the South Pole. The North Pole Marathon, however, will be the ultimate challenge for him. He is super excited at this adventure of a lifetime, despite not underestimating the environment or the challenge, and being a bit scared, and even in awe maybe!
