Don't know if anyone here has been to a lecture given by Ranulph Fiennes. I've been lucky enough to attend two.
There you'll learn how easy it is to get all the sponsorship you need. He explains it in his introduction.
He reveals that when his team first started out on expedition travelling, over thirty years ago, they all agreed on one simple rule:
They would never ever, under any circumstances, in any situation and for any purpose, pay for anything.
They would always persuade, cajole, or otherwise force, other people to pay all the bills or donate their services.
In other words, it comes down to brute determination and single-mindedness.
Everything is possible...... as they say.
No, it's not easy at all, but I wish you the Best of Luck.... and Determination.
