Burton was a computer programmer by trade.〔 〕Twenty-three years into his career and out of shape in his 40s, Burton went to get his blood checked.

He finished the LOTOJA Classic six times and wanted to do more. He decided to set out on his Antarctic ride to inspire people and to encourage donations to the American Diabetes Association.
