In 2017, Ward visited his 197th and final nation, Norway, chosen because its proximity to Ireland made it convenient for friends and family to join him for the occasion. , Ward claims to have earned around $1.5 million through his media company. Ward has since declared his intention to be the first person to visit every country, plus visit the North Pole, South Pole, and climb all of the Seven Summits. He has since finished 8th in the North Pole Marathon, and summited both Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro and Europe's highest peak, Mount Elbrus. Alongside this, Ward has also competed in the Marathon des Sables in 2019. Also in 2019, Ward helped his mother, who had previously been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, raise £14,444 to climb Mount Fuji in Japan, with the funds going towards the Cure Parkinson's Trust. Ward co-founded GiveBack GiveAway in 2015 with a view to 'Change Travel. For Good.' Since then, the GBGA has built schools, dormitories, playgrounds and clinics for developing communities in 10 countries.
