The PUSH
On January 17, 2012, one hundred years after Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s historic journey,
Grant Korgan, unbelievably, stood up and skied the final 100 feet to make history as the first
spinal cord-injured athlete to reach the South Pole.
On a personal level, The PUSH journey to the South Pole was beyond anything I had
experienced on this planet. It tested me physically and mentally to my limit. Even after 20
years of traveling the world on assignment, there was nothing that compared to this. In the
end, unlike all my past adventures, this was not about going somewhere; it was about going
nowhere. This was a deep, intrapersonal journey that changed everything for me. It
changed how I see the world.
