Mary Donaldson - Project Director

As the Phileas Fogg Adventurers pass through major cities, they are setting off an explosion of related activity designed to place the focus on a local charity or charities and raise funds for them.

In touch with Project Managers around the world Mary is ensuring that the 'Phileas Fogg' spirit is kept alive and well and events that the Phileas Fogg Adventurers are involved in whether it be a fund-raising lunch/dinner or a talk to a local community it is in line with the overriding vision of Around the World in 80 Ways. To inspire people to live their lives to their full potential.

For Mary the challenge of Around the World in 80 ways is serving the Project Directors and the thousands of volunteers who are now tired into the vision. Adopted as team 'Mum', Mary is also charged with looking after the welfare of the Phileas Fogg Adventurers as they travel the world.
Mary's long-term aim is to assist in setting up a global trust fund, which will continue in the spirit of the first Around the World in 80 Ways adventure.

Stuart Nussey - Route Director

A graduate from the Royal Air Force College, Cranwell, Stuart spent nearly 30 years in the RAF as a navigator. Half of this was spent flying, mostly on Hercules aircraft, so he has travelled too much of the world at one time or other. Stuart is therefore well placed as the Around the World in 80 Ways Route Director.

In touch with the Project Directors around the world Stuart will ensure that the route is flowing and the Phileas Fogg Adventurers don't backtrack.

Stuart is also keeper of the passports and logbooks. He will ensure that the passport is stamped on entry and exit to each country and the means of transport are logged. An International Panel of Judges will decide whether the 80 means of transport have been achieved and will require seeing evidence of both passports and logbooks.

Stuart is very excited about Around the World in 80 Ways and the way the Phileas Fogg Adventurers will heighten the awareness of the needless difficulties some people are forced to endure in life. He hopes the adventure will be the first of many such journeys so that the Around the World in 80 Ways message reaches out to all corners of the world.
