UPDATE: I've made the top 12 and will be sailing the Atlantic in November, oh the relief at knowing. Thank you to those who have supported me and continue to donate i cant do this without you...... Si

In 2013 my world turned upside down with the loss of my childhood best friend. From that day forward I promised my family I would have no regrets challenging myself every day, making life rewarding. I reached out of my comfort zone and leaped at Informa's fund raising and Atlantic sailing opportunity so here goes...

Fund raising: Need IT support or advice for your personal home IT equipment? Computer not working properly or you simply want some advice about the best technology for your needs...... Well make a donation to my Save the Children page and I will return the offer using my 16 years of IT knowledge. Contact me: simonedwards58@hotmail.com or 07974247272.

The challenge: Sailing the Atlantic Ocean for 2 weeks.

Im part of a team of 30 Informa employees raising money for Save the Children with all donations going to charity. 12 of the chosen team (me now being one of them) in November will be taking part in the massive challenge of sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, 2700 nautical miles over 2 weeks as part of the ARC 2014 race. 

Please help us reach our targets by donating today.
