In 2025, 15 fearless fundraisers braved the Arctic wilderness driving huskies, camping in remote cabins, and finishing at the iconic Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi. Their incredible efforts raised €125,000, funding five life-changing Autism Assistance Dogs!
Now, we’re looking for the next team of adventurers for 2027 to take on this unforgettable challenge.
Huskies, Roaring Fires, Northern Lights & Untouched Lapland Wilderness
Imagine driving your own team of huskies through untouched Lapland wilderness, with roaring fires, remote cabins and the Northern Lights overhead.
Over eight days, you’ll work closely with your husky team and experienced guides to navigate the snowy forests of Lapland, before finishing at the iconic Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi.
It is also a powerful opportunity to experience what it means to rely on a working dog, just as the autistic children and families we support rely on their assistance dogs every day.
