Completely paralysed from the chest down since the age of six, Michael is going to take up this challenge for humanity in order to raise awareness about climate change around the world. Why the North Pole? We are all aware that this region is changing as a result of the accelerated melting of ice.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5430803\" data-originallang=\"en\">Moreover, prime scientific institutions are coordinating to introduce to the world this scientific challenge, endorsed by the United Nations, as making Michael walk to the North Pole is exactly like putting a person to walk on the moon.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5430804\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Thank you to Michael, who is the epitome of courage.</p>",
