Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!
On 16th April 2009, I shall be setting off from Southampton to sail two thousand miles to Tenerife, via Vigo in Spain. I shall be a Watchleader aboard 'Rona II', a 68ft ketch. After delivering the boat to Vigo, we shall take part in the ceremonies that begin the Transatlantic Tall Ships Race and then be pitted against other sailing ships of all sizes and ages, all with crews aged under 25. From Tenerife, the next crew from our organisation will take over the boat and race her from there to Bermuda.
This presents a fantastic opportunity for us as a sail training organisation to help youthful members of our society; to build character, teamworking and leadership skills. We are all volunteers and everyone works extremely hard to perform at a competitive level.
Each one of us has to raise £1400 in total to go towards the costs of sending our ship across the Atlantic and back again.
Please visit http://ronatransat.org for more information.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Rona Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Please sponsor me, this is an extraordinary opportunity, and the difference that we make to people through it is extraordinary.
