Murdered by a man, she had divorced. Inequ was devastated and heartbroken, but supported by a strong community and a good loving family she managed to get back on her feet.

Lisa Sund is a process manager and a teacher. She has studied Physical Education, Pedagogy, and Project Management among other things. Over the years she has worked as a teacher at different schools, but also for the Swedish Olympic Committee and at the moment with a cooperation project between healthcare and different communities.

Children, learning, physical activity and sports have been parts of her life for as long as she can remember. She started to engage in sports as a leader already as a 13-year-old and has continued to do so throughout life, more in some periods, less in some. Lisa then became a Physical Education teacher in the 90s and has always, so far, come back to teaching even though she has done other things in between working in schools.

Liv Arnesen is a Norwegian teacher, polar explorer, adventurer and speaker.

In 1994 Arnesen made international headlines by becoming the first woman in the world to walk alone, without support or supplies, to the South Pole. In 2001, together with Ann Bancroft, she became the first woman to cross Antarctica on skis.

When I first contacted Liv regarding the crossing of the ice cap on Greenland I was not sure she would even respond to me. Not only did she do that, but she has been kind enough to be a mentor throughout this project. She was actually the one that proposed that we should make this into a global project, so that I could share the experience with other women that had a similar life journey.
