My story

 

I have now applied for and been offered a place in the Clipper Round the World Race 09-10.  Although the race does not start until September 2009, my sea training starts in March 2008.  I have to spend four full weeks at sea before I am able to compete in the full race which involves 14 ports, 35,000 miles of sailing and 10 months at sea.

It is the ultimate team building and leadership course and a great opportunity to raise money for our local charity, the Rainbow Centre for Conductive Education.  If you are not familiar with the work of the centre, please spend a moment visiting their web site at http://www.rainbowcentre.org.  It really is a fantastic place where miracles happen pretty much every day.

You have probably been directed here from my own race web site but if by chance you came here direct you can get an overview of the challenge ahead by visiting http://www.meridian360.me.uk

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Rainbow Centre For Conductive Education Ltd 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, many thanks for your support.
