Hi and thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am taking part in this year's Atlantic Rally for Cruisers to raise money for Edinburgh's Royal Hospital for Sick Children.  It's a 'friendly' yacht race across the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to St Lucia - approximately 3,000 miles, non stop.  The starting gun goes off on Sunday 23rd November and it's likely to take between 2 to 3 weeks depending on weather conditions.

The Royal Hospital for Sick Children (aka The Sick Kids) does an amazing job of caring for children with a wide range of illnesses and injuries, helping more than 34,000 children every year.  I've set my fund raising target at £3,000 (only a pound a mile!) but obviously I'd love to smash this completely.

I am funding the trip my self - all money raised through this page will be going directly to Sick Kids. If you can afford to give anything at all please do - every penny will make a difference to a child who needs help.

If you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving will add 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% bonus to your donation.

Thank you!

*** UPDATE ***   We completed the race in 18 days, winning our class and coming 2nd overall.  A big thank you to everyone for your support!
