Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
I am traveling to Cascais in Portugal on 4th July to compete in the IFDS World Multihull Championships. This will take place over 5 days, with 11 races in total.

I am 15 years old and was born with the condition Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita which means multiple joint contractures. In my case it limits the use of my lower limbs. I found sailing when I was 9, and started at the Barnet Youth Base being introduced to BTYC Sailsports a couple of years later. It was at BTYC (an RYA certified voluntary racing and training club) where I learnt to sail the Challenger - a fast but stable boat specifically designed for people with physical constraints. Last year I was selected by the RYA to train with the Transition Squad and hope to compete in the 2012 Paralympics.
Sailing gives me a sense of freedom, I am the same as everyone else when I am on the water - it is my passion. I can only thank RYA Sailability for supporting the clubs where I sail enabling me and others like me to learn and love to sail.
Please have a look at my website http://www.davidmorsesailing.co.uk
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RYA Sailability 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 and send this page to everyone in your address book!
Many thanks for your support.
