My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fund raising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

This is my personal effort to raise money for two very deserving causes whilst I am on the experience of a lifetime.  Sailing round the world as part of a yacht race is going to leave me with some amazing stores to tell. I would like to use this as an opportunity to be able to help others at the same time.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me.  I am looking to get a lot of money to those less fortunate than most of us.

The two charities to benefit will be the Philip Green Memorial Trust and Maggie's Centre's.  There are links to both on this page.

Contributing through this page will mean that the charities will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
