The idea to participate in RAAM really gained momentum July 1st 2016. On Peter´s 50th birthday, he received not one but two RAAM related gifts: from his wife Kristin the allowance and support to participate in 2020 including the time-consuming preparation phase; and from his friend and RAAM record holder Axel the commitment to support the project with his invaluable knowledge.
Through his wife’s gift, the participation received its deadline: 2020
During the next couple of years, the plan slowly but surely matured in his head and the topic was addressed on several occasions with different people.
