The Lily Foundation was founded in Lily's memory, having lost her battle to Mitochondrial Disease at just eight months old. The charity aims to give hope, answers and support to the many other children and families that face the challenges of this disease today. Did you know every twenty minutes a child is born who will develop Mitochondrial Disease by the age of 16! There is no cure for this disease which is for many, debilitating and life limiting. Please stand with us and fight Mitochondrial Disease and fight for hope.

My round the world challenge....

On the 20th of August I set sail on what is likely to be the biggest challenge, both mentally and physically, of my life and what has affectionately been named by my wife as my 'Mid-life crisis gap year'.

As part of the crew taking part in this year's 'Round the World Clipper Yacht Race', the brainchild of Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, I've chosen to take part in the full circumnavigation of the globe and aim to complete the 40,000 mile race which is split into eight legs and sees us sail across five oceans and six continents.

The fleet of twelve identically matched 70-foot sea faring racing yachts will be home for eleven months with a grueling 4 hour on, four hour off watch and will take me through some of the most treacherous waters in the world.

The aim throughout my trip is to update my followers with tales of my adventures, posting blogs, pictures and video clips with a hope in return, they will dig deep and sponsor one or all, of my three incredible children's charities.
