On the 28th April, I’ll be setting sail from Seattle to race nearly 12,000 miles to London in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. This is a huge personal challenge for me and I’m hoping to raise money along the way for 2 charities: Survival International and also Unicef.

I’ll be at sea for 68 days sailing across the Pacific, Panama Canal & North Atlantic where storms, seasickness, massive waves, the threat of icebergs,nights with no sleep and days with no showers are all going to be the norm!
