My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

 I am raising money for the Little Hearts Matter charity, which supports the families of babies and children with major heart defects. This is a subject which has touched my own family as my baby grandson has severe heart problems.

 I have entered my 25 foot yacht Culica in the Jester Azores Challenge. Starting on May 31st this year, I will be sailing single handed from Plymouth to the Azores, which is half way to America! My position will be tracked by satellite and you will be able to follow my progress on the voyage WWW.GEORGEJEPPS.COM

 Sponsorship money will be due when I cross the start line. Please give generously as every penny makes a difference, and all money raised will go directly to the Little Hearts Matter charity!


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Little Hearts Matter 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!

Thank you and fairwinds George Jepps.
