My family and friends were generous enough on my 50th birthday to enable me to take part in the Clipper Round The World Yacht race 11-12. I will race in Leg 4 from Western Australia to New Zealand and back to the east coast of Australia. In all about 4,200 miles over nearly 30 days at sea, starting mid November 2011.

 I am dedicating this to a great mate, Cate Sutcliffe, who sadly died a few years ago following a brain hemorrhage. Cate was in her early 30's. So, anything that I can help to raise will go to the Brain Research Trust which is a marvellous charity doing invaluable work into an area still cloaked in a lot of mystery. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. Thank You.
