BIO
ANNASLEY PARK
- Former Professional Cyclist
- Ocean Rower
- Keynote Speaker
- Philanthropist
- Exploring Human Capacity
Her 54-day Ocean Survivoar Challenge was the culmination of a life dedicated to pushing human limits, honed by her experience as a former Great British cyclist and years navigating the world’s most volatile environments, from Alpine peaks to superyacht decks.
Annasley’s journey is a living testament to human capacity and fortitude, built on actionable frameworks for resilience and leadership.
THE WHY
For the British Armed Forces, the transition from service to civilian life is a silent gap. It is a volatile space where structure is removed, society feels unfamiliar, and the map of the future is unwritten. 
Annasley Park is venturing into Antarctica to do more than highlight the weight of this threshold. She is there to test the full depth of solitude, magnitude and attitude of her most demanding project yet and share the framework she has developed in the world’s most demanding environments. By translating these lessons back into society, she offers a practical way for people to navigate their own transitions and connect with a capacity built for the unknown.
This expedition is a dedicated project for the Clocktower Foundation, a charity that hits home for Annasley in more ways than one. Having seen the weight of service and the complexity of the return, she is skiing the white capped continent of the South Pole to ensure no member of the regimental family walks their transition alone.
The Clocktower Foundation exists to improve the prospects of every member of the regimental family. By funding grassroots projects and community-based initiatives, it truly helps to rebuild confidence, find new purpose, and reconnect.
Every mile on the ice supports:
- The Wounded: Rehabilitation for those injured in operations or training.
- The Fallen: Supporting the families and dependants of those killed in service.
- The Families: Ensuring the dependants of serving soldiers have the stability they need.
- The Future: Providing ongoing education and resettlement tools for a new life beyond the uniform.
