Making the ordinary, extraordinary

Michael Mitten is an entrepreneur and wannabe philanthropist from Newcastle upon Tyne. Inspired by his Dad's life sadly lost to lung cancer in 2007 and the amazing people at Macmillan Cancer Support who were there throughout, Michael decided to do something extraordinary to make sure this fantastic charity continues to make a difference to the lives of cancer patients. Michael has set up True North as a charity to enable him and all True North's team and contributors to fund and support other ordinary people who want do something extraordinary and raise significant sums of money for charity.


Northern Counties Insurance is proud to be associated with such a worthwhile cause and would like to wish Michael every success with the North Pole Expedition 2009 and beyond.
