Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page.

I have the very great privilege to be taking part in a leg of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. The race is already underway and I’ll be joining my boat/crew in Seattle in April 2024. I’ll sail more than 7000 miles over approx 38 days broken into 2 races. It’s a far cry from dinghy sailing as a teenager, and for sure will be a personal challenge. 4hr watches, hot-bunking, living at 45 degrees with 20 others in a 70ft yacht with little or no contact with outside world. https://youtu.be/u_l3fQ63618?si=XwwasGRyKqxVJi7S

UNICEF is the chosen charity partner of the race & I’m proud to be raising money to support UNICEF’s vital work for children. ALL of your donations go to the charity NOT to fund our personal challenge!

UNICEF ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. In 190 countries and territories, UNICEF works to save children’s lives, to defend their rights, and to help them fulfil their potential, from early childhood through adolescence.

Every donation will help to build a better word for every child.
