Last year, nine 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 2026 to take on this unforgettable challenge.

❄️ Huskies, Roaring Fires, Northern Lights & Untouched Lapland Wilderness
For over a week, you’ll rely on your team of dogs and expert guides to navigate the snowy forests of Lapland—all while raising mission-critical funds for Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland (AADI). 🐶 This is the closest most of us will come to experiencing what it’s like to depend on a service dog—just like our families do every day.

❤️ Why It Matters
Our mission runs entirely on fundraising—we receive no direct government funding. Every donation, volunteer hour, and act of kindness creates real, lasting change.
