Jade Hameister walked into the history

youngest person to trek one of the more
difficult routes to the North Pole at the
age of 14. She faced dangerous condi-
tions, freezing temperatures and the
threat of polar bears. In May she will ski
540km from coast to coast across
Greenland – the world’s second biggest
ice cap. Jade is living proof that age is
no barrier to achieving your dreams, no
matter how big those dreams may be.SANDY ROBSON
