A few weeks ago, we bid good luck to Joyette Jopson on her journey going to the North Pole. A Triatlete, and Ironman Champion, and most of all a FWD Financial Wealth Officer, she was the perfect candidate to represent FWD Philippines, women, and the country to one of the most challenging marathons on earth. She trained long and hard with the help of her "squad" that includes mountaineer Romi Garduce, and Asian Games Gold Medalist Margielyn Didal.
The 42-kilometer FWD ‘78° North’ Marathon was held near the North Pole on April 16 at Longyearbyen, Svalbard located in the north most island group of Norway. It is known for its rugged, remote terrain of glaciers and frozen tundra sheltering polar bears, Svalbard reindeer and Arctic foxes. She joins the FWD Team Asia that comprises of members coming from Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam, and Thailand.
