Magical RTMinds Christmas gathering. Very special people each and every one, including Melanie Downie who took this pic.

It's that time of the week again. It's now just two weeks to Christmas (sorry), and our explorers have toiled their way to 783 miles (32%). Travelling due north that puts us up around the top of Iceland, but taking a more scenic route, we're in Norway.

Now admittedly we need to travel 825 miles per week to hit our target which is unlikely, though Christmas is a time for miracles, and if enough people join us for the final push, who knows where we will end up.

Donations wise we're at 14%, so if anyone can afford to put a few more quid in the kitty, every penny is gratefully received.

Our Polar team have made it to 700 miles now, placing them further north than Reykjavik. It's been almost a week since our last donation though. Can you spare some change?

Dark days, cold weather, and low motivation can take their toll — especially on mental health. At RTProjects, we use creativity, community, and compassion to help people through difficult times.

It's Thursday, and that means it's time to let you know what progress our Polar explorers have made so far. They've made it....drum roll please... 600 miles (well, 599.8). One of our explorers is logging miles around chemotherapy treatment, which makes them our hero!

1,833 arduous miles remains, which is 611 miles per week. So everything they've done so far, they have to do every seven days to reach the North Pole in time. They'll give it everything they've got, but it would be great to get some more of you with us. You can even log miles from the comfort of your own home.

If you're not sure, but you might be persuadable, why not give Adam a shout and he can talk you through it. adam@rtprojects.org is his email.

If you can't add any miles, but you can spare some money, you can donate at localgiving.org/fundraising/North-Pole-Challenge -- every penny counts, and will be used in our life-saving work.

Thank you

If these words inspire you then you know exactly what to do. BTW you can do it in your living room without even leaving the house

Our intrepid explorers have hit their first major milestone, and there's only one way to celebrate... with the Proclaimers. Why not help us do the next 500?
