Boardy did a post on us!

Erica Stanford with 'Boardy' — a frost-covered companion with a cardboard smiley for a head — at golden hour on the snow — training for the Polar Dogs Antarctica Expedition

This one wasn’t from me — Boardy did a post on us! Reposted here in full:

be Erica Stanford
works full-time at a law firm in the UK
[…]
starts looking for a new challenge
meets polar explorer Ben Weber
they decide to ski across Antarctic
on a route no one has completed before
realize they need to raise ~$600K with no fundraising background

gives Boardy a call as a sounding board
receives “the best advice she’s yet to receive”
learns out how to craft her pitch deck, fundraise, and game plan
Boardy introduces her to someone running a major outdoor community

Now Erica is training, lining up sponsors, and preparing for a 2027–2028 expedition. We’re rooting for you!

Boardy, on LinkedIn. Thank you for rooting for us (and for the excellent cardboard portrait).
