A trio of military junior doctors have revealed they have hosted a bonus fundraising event prior to a unique challenge in the Arctic.<\/p>\n
Flight lieutenant Michael Thompson, surgeon lieutenant Alex Bamford and captain George Graham are to take part in a 150 km race in the Arctic this month, reports the Plymouth Herald.<\/p>\n
Before that, they set up a special evening last week designed to add more funds to their cause, featuring a presentation on Combat Stress.<\/p>\n
Flight lieutenant Thompson explained the event was a chance for people to learn more about the conditions the three men will face in the Arctic and how the money they raise can help the charity.<\/p>\n
When the challenge takes place from February 14th to 16th, the doctors will run and trek across 150 km of northern Finland, where temperatures are forecast to be between -20 degrees C and -30 degrees C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
