Pole2poleandback For cancer awareness http://pole2poleandback.yolasite.com
Why doing the Drive at all? • As my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer during August 2011, it became apparent that many cancer sufferers get diagnosed to late for treatment to be effective and successful. • During January 2012, I had a conversation with an individual that indicated to me that the drive is the path I must follow to make a difference in the lives of others that might not know that they suffer from cancer. • In doing some research, I found that the fatality rate amongst cancer patients can be significantly reduced if the cancer is diagnosed early enough that treatment can be effective.
What does the drive entail? • The Pole2poleandback drive is designed to cover most of the continents of the world. • The drive is to start at the South Pole marker in Antarctica. • Travel through South America and North America. • Turn around at the North Pole Ice Cap • Travel through some of Asia and the most of Europe. • Transverse Africa on the journey back to Antarctica. • The end of the journey would be back at the South Pole Marker. • The whole drive, from Pole marker back to Pole marker in less than 12 months. Planning stipulate the completion in 335 days
Sponsorships • The drive will cost approximately $1 000 000 per rider excluding the shadow ship that is needed. • Totalling $5 million in Sponsorships required. • With every item that is sponsored, the amount of funds required will come down. • Any funds that is raised for the drive, that is not being used, will go towards the beneficiaries of the drive namely CANSA and Hospice Palliative Care South Africa. • Exposure for the Sponsors will be elaborated on later.
Goal 1 of the Pole2poleandback Drive. • To bring the awareness of cancer to as many people as possible along the route of the drive. • To encourage the people to get to know their bodies and encourage self examination for potential signs of cancer. • To encourage the regular testing for potential cancers. • Bring the message of Early Detection, Early Treatment to the people. • By ensuring that cancer is detected early and treated early, the patient will be able to live a longer and productive life with family and friends.
Goal 2 of the Pole2poleandback Drive. • To encourage the establishment of support groups for the families of cancer patients. • As there are so many support groups for the patients, the families that suffer with the patient do not have a support structure from people that have already experienced. • Sharing groups where experiences in dealing with a terminal family member can be discussed. • These groups can form the support for the families in their hour of need. • Sharing ideas as to how best deal with the trauma of seeing their family member pass away and what to do afterwards.
Goal 3 of the Pole2poleandback Drive. • To raise funds for the drives beneficiaries. • Funds to be allocated to the support for the families that can not afford to travel to support the patient while they are being treated for their cancer. • To ensure that every cancer victim have access to proper treatment. • To help with the financial burden of treating the patient in their last days – Hospice Palliative Care. • The target of GBP 5 000 000 per beneficiary is envisaged.
