We met in Kautokeino and I learned to know a strong and ambitious young man, and very brave too. I knew you would reach the goal, that I saw in your eyes the day I left you on the river, and went back home. Good luck with next goal and your cause, and welcome back, anytime!
If you want the article i wrote, just email me, and I`ll send it.
Congratulations, David - You have shown great strength of character and moral courage to complete this arduous venture. Your father (and your dear mother) will be extremely proud of your achievement. WE hope that you feel that it has been worth all the pain and discomfort for your worthy charity. I have tracked your progress from Saudi Arabia! From David Budge
