Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
 
Starting November 23rd, I am taking part in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (“ARC”), sailing my boat Que Será from the Canaries to St Lucia across the Atlantic with two of my Ernst & Young colleagues, Mike Knight and Jock Lennox.

I am raising money for three charities - Action for Children which supports and speaks out for the most vulnerable children and young people in the UK; Hope and Homes for Children which works with orphaned, abandoned or vulnerable children in Central and Eastern Europe and Africa; and Baale Mane a shelter for girls in Bangalore, India, many of whom have been rescued from child labour.

Action for Children is acting as the lead charity and will split the proceeds three ways.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Our progress can be monitored through our blog at http://blog.mailasail.com/quesera

Many thanks for your support.
