Hi everyone, I'm Sarah and I am currently taking part in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers 2024, sailing from Gran Canaria to St Lucia and I thought it would be a great opportunity to raise funds for a very worthy charity, The Huntington's Disease Association.
Huntington's Disease is a degenerative neurological condition that is passed down from parent to child. Despite huge amounts of ongoing research, there is currently no cure, and little in the way of treatment. I have lost 4 family members to this condition already, and was myself diagnosed with the condition in 2019, but with support of my husband and two others, I am now sailing across the Atlantic!
I set sail on Sunday 24th November and the journey should take around 3 - 4 weeks. If you would like to sponsor me, any amount will be gratefully appreciated, and all funds will go towards the Huntington's Disease Association that supports anyone who is affected by Huntington's disease across England and Wales. They pursue the best possible care; provide training & advice to families and professionals; raise awareness, and promote research towards better treatment and care.
They have supported me and my family for generations now, so it is time to give something back, and what better way than to do that, than by completing an Atlantic sailing rally, as I have always loved sailing!
