"One of the privileges of my work is that it gives me the opportunity to champion some truly extraordinary charities that save lives all around the world.
Global Angels is a charity I have been involved with since our Everest paramotor expedition where we raised over 2.5million dollars for charities worldwide, including $1 million for Global Angels to give to projects in Africa. I know firsthand that the work they do saves kids lives.
100% of funds go to the kids - no hidden costs or charges etc. It is driven by love - like all the best things!
One of the driving forces behind my expeditions is that, beyond the aims of the expedition itself, the trip must also save lives. Antarctica 2008 is no different - God willing we will break new climbing frontiers but more importantly we are trying, heart and soul, to help children around the world. That is ultimately our goal. Thank you for being part of that journey."
Love Bear
This Antarctic mission has a clear goal to raise funds and awareness for Global Angels, a charity close to Bear's heart. Global Angels is an innovative international children's charity championing the needs of the most needy children's charities around the world
The projects we are focusing on have a particular emphasis on providing sustainable solutions to community needs, and look to provide long-term solutions. Your support makes all the difference. Thank you.

£10000.00 | Harnessing clean, renewable energy is essential to the survival of our planet as we know it and will provide an enormous opportunity to reduce poverty and starvation in Africa. I believe projects like this will make an important contribution to achieving a pardigm shift in the way we think about our global problems today and in the future. |

In 2007, on Monday May 14th, Bear Grylls teamed up with Giles Cardoza and, with the backing of the GKN Mission Everest team, flew over Everest by paramotor! This achievment led to Bear Grylls claiming the title of first man to fly over Mount Everest by powered paraglider.
Bear and fellow pilot Giles took off from Everest base camp, situated at 14,500 feet in Nepal. Both had specially developed paramotors. At 28,000 feet, a fault in Giles' machine ended his mission just 1,000 feet below the summit, forcing him to glide back to safety. Luckily, Bear was able to continue to ascend until, at around 9.30 am, he reached the height of 29,500 feet to claim this extraordinary title!
Bear raised $1million for Global Angels projects in Uganda, Sierra Leone, Kenya and Mozambique; 100% of which went towards providing water, food, education, medicine and housing for kids and their communities.
