While we will be thanking our financial sponsors individually and more personally, we want to get a list of thank you’s out to a number of people and groups who have been helping by donating their time and expertise.
Our business schools, Tuck and Haas have both been incredibly supportive and on the PR side we should acknowledge the efforts of Kiki Keating and Kent Holland from the Tuck side and Ute Frey from Haas. We also want to reiterate our thanks to three members of the Law School at UC Berkeley. William Kell, Jackie Cahan and Noah Smith who helped us greatly with our non-profit status.
We also want to acknowledge the time and effort of Suzanne Kentish of http://www.suzannekentishphotography.co.uk/ who has been helping us with some design work.
Furthermore, Garrick and Alan in particular want to thank Greg at BORP (www.borp.org) for helping with the loan of a cycle that was used for training over the winter period. BORP is a local non-profit in San Francisco and helps improve the lives of many people through enabling them to participate in a number of sporting activities.
Finally, a big shout out to Discovery Blind Sports of Kirkwood, CA who help visually impaired people to ski. Although Antarctica sadly has no double black diamond runs, the opportunity to get some skiing in prior to our polar training is fantastic. Thanks to Jeff, Gerry, Ed and John (www.discoveryblindsports.org)
Many thanks to you all, we still have a long way to go and we can’t do it without your support!
