The most inspiring story of 2010

There were many things that made international news from the UAE in 2010.

One story that caught my attention and touched me deep within was that of Haidar Taleb.

Haidar travelled 80 miles nonstop for 14 hours. And then 300 miles across the UAE on National Day. See this movie to find out why it was so special...

It was the most inspiring story out of the UAE - and we captured it on film to share our emotion with more people here and around the world...

Extreme Inspiration - Adrian Hayes

I think a lot of you guys will be aware of this, however I really wanted to bring it to the fore again.

Right now, today, there is a team of people walking / skiing unaided to the South Pole. That's a huge task - less than 100 people have done this ever. One of the members of the team is Adrian Hayes. He's also walked to the North Pole and climbed Everest.

If they make it to the South Pole, sometime in the next 7 to 8 days (we hope) - he will be one of only 15 people ever to have managed to do the 3 (North, South and Everest) Poles.

Adrian lives in Dubai.

They are going through a tough time out there - you can send messages of support through their website.

I don't know Adrian, HalfManHalfBeer mentioned him at some point, but I've become obsessed with hoping they make it to the Pole. As he's a Dubai resident - hopefuly this community can help cheer them on....
