Understanding the Extremes! Join the adventure! Explore the poles literally! I just couldn’t pass up sharing this incredible adventure.
From the organizers:
“The Bipolar Expedition is an initiative developed within the Australian branch of the successful Brightest Young Minds Foundation, an organisation which provides a platform for young Australian adults to launch ventures to address pressing social issues.</span>
We are passionate about finding better ways to manage and diagnose Bipolar Disorder. An expedition team led by extremely experienced guides, and consisting of people with Bipolar Disorder, psychiatrists and community members, will embark on two separate treks, approximately 3 weeks each – one to the South Pole and one to the North Pole.
This entire journey will be made into a documentary to raise awareness for Bipolar Disorder. Participants need to be aware that this is an integral part of our mission – to raise public awareness about the disorder.”
