📣 Announcing our rebrand and next adventure. 😍

🚨Nerd Alert! Whilst I (Charlie) won a free pastry at Lidl, Adam has been named a winner in Cardiff University’s 2025 30(ish) awards, which celebrate alumni making a positive impact on their communities. ‘The awards honour change-makers, innovators and trailblazers from Cardiff’s global alumni network’ This year over 200 nominations were received. The award reads:

‘Finding himself feeling unfulfilled working in emergency medicine, Adam made the bold decision to switch to palliative medicine, while he was rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean.

He has pursued this path with exceptional intensity. Within two years, Adam completed a PgDip, earning the Cicely Saunders Medal as top-performing student, and received a high commendation in the global Masters Student of the Year award. Named Emerging Leader of the Year by Hospice UK, Adam introduced and published world-first processes for hospice patients and achieved a Guinness World Record as part of a hospice fundraiser.

Adam is recognised for questioning practice and pushing boundaries to improve patient care. He is also one of a handful of people to complete an ice swim in both polar regions wearing only a standard swimming costume – raising over £55,000 for charity through extreme challenges.

Currently writing a book on assisted dying, Adam seeks to encourage a more nuanced and compassionate debate on this emotive topic. He continues to inspire others to think differently and act boldly in pursuit of better care and deeper understanding.’

Thank you again to all our followers for supporting and donating for all our challenges. You’ve made the world of difference to our amazing charities.

We had the honour of being invited to the BBC Radio Devon Making A Difference Awards yesterday evening and were presented with this high commendation award for our Archipelago Yachts Polar Swim Challenge that raised over £17,000 for Weston Hospicecare & Ocean Conservation Trust. It was amazing to meet so many people doing wonderful things across Devon. Thank you so much again to everyone who donated and supported us along the way.

Continuing to push outside our comfort zone. Adam is doing something a little different at the moment. Alongside his boss he is writing a book titled ‘To The Last’ which will be an exploration of assisted dying. What it means to live and to die. The book will debate both for and against assisted dying to provide a more nuanced discourse and will attempt to challenge the superficial polarisation often seen.

Adam’s interview with the Times is published today and available online and in print. The book will hopefully be published early next year so keep your eyes peeled.

Last year, someone who spotted our post about the grants went on to ski to the South Pole!

WORK HARD, PLAY HARD.

A few days after we returned from Antarctica, Adam was invited to attend the national Hospice UK conference in Glasgow, where he was honoured to have been awarded the inaugural Emerging Leader of the Year. Simon Callow's narration explains why Adam won the award.

You may notice that when we pop up in the media, we often receive flak about why we're not at work and how our challenges are, therefore, a selfish endeavour. But the truth is we approach our work with the same intensity and drive as we do our challenges. Since making the decision to change careers to Palliative Medicine whilst rowing across the Atlantic, Adam has received 3 awards for his work. Our challenges build us both as people and as doctors and as the video states..... we are just getting started!

📢 £14,074

That's what you lovely lot have helped us raise for Weston Hospicecare & Ocean Conservation Trust FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS THANK YOU!!!

We have a few speaking events outstanding that we are hoping will nudge us up a little more.

Over the last few years, we've been relentlessly asking for donations and you've all been so so
generous supporting all our challenges. We've now raised over £55,000 for charity.

This challenge was really brutal - the rewarming process is actually one of the hardest aspects. You are so vulnerable, your skin is so sensitive and the pain secondary to the cold and the intense shivering makes it extremely hard. Thankfully, we had help. Here's a picture of Adam enjoying the Stoov - heated cushions Homey to warm himself with some cheeky penguins over his right shoulder.

A huge thank you again to all our sponsors:
