SOLO TO THE SOUTH POLE
THE FIRST AMERICAN WOMAN
I’m skiing solo to the South Pole
700 miles. 50 days. Alone.
This November, I’ll set off to become the first American woman to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole.
That means no guides, no resupplies, and no shortcuts — just me, a 200-pound sled, and 700 miles of wind-scoured ice.
I’ll be alone, in the Antarctic wilderness, for 50+ days.
I’ve spent the past 3 years training for this moment, pulling tires wherever I am in the world.
Why I'm Doing This
I was inspired by the women who went before me. When I first started training, I wasn’t sure I’d ever go through with it. I didn’t feel extreme enough. Or strong enough. Or enough, period.
But step by step, tire drag by tire drag, I kept going. And now that I’m so close to the start line, I can see it clearly: I get to be another link in the chain of inspiration. That’s why I’m shouting this from the rooftops — because someone out there needs to see what it looks like when an ordinary person decides to do something extraordinary.
This isn’t just about skiing to the South Pole. It’s about showing up scared and doing it anyway.
Only 14 women in history have completed this feat. None of them have been American. Representation in exploration matters — not just for record books, but for the stories we tell ourselves about who belongs in extreme environments.
How you can help
This expedition is self-funded, and it’s expensive. From polar training to gear, insurance, and logistics, the total cost tops $120,000. I’ve already poured my savings into making it happen — now I’m asking for help to get the rest of the way.
Your contribution goes directly toward:
Antarctic logistics & permit fees
Food & fuel for 50 days
Emergency evacuation insurance
Satellite communication to send updates from the ice
The final flights to the edge of the continent
Contribute via GoFundMe
Every dollar gets me one step closer to the bottom of the Earth — and I’ll be sending updates from the ice so you can follow along every frozen mile.
