I have always wanted to go ocean racing so this race is the culmination of a lifelong ambition and it is fitting it should go towards a cause for good.

UNICEF relies entirely on voluntary contributions and donations. Its life-saving work is only possible through the generosity of its fundraisers. With help from the Clipper Race, UNICEF can make sure more children get the support they need to grow up happy, healthy, and safe.

I have set my fundraising target as £7000 because that is the distance in miles from our start line in The Solent on 3rd. September, to Punta Del Este in Uruguay some 6 weeks later, the finish of the first leg.

So please help me if you can with whatever you feel able to contribute, to continue UNICEF’s vital work  

Thank you.
