It's 40 degrees below zero on Russia's Lake Baikal and the cold is debilitating. Ray Zahab and Kevin Vallely are traveling 26 miles every day, sleeping four to five hours a night, battling snowstorms and consuming freeze-dried meals of spaghetti and chicken tikka. Though the duo, who started out with 110-pound sleds, are attempting to cross the length of the frozen lake in 10 days, this isn't another extreme sports feat.

YN&DF is in the process of establishing a fund to send Chick-on to Le Cordon Bleu Paris for his education... not necessarily as a student.
