My personal message:

SAILING ROUND THE WORLD IN.....11,665 pints!

Thanks to Dial a Flight for donating £200 (could your company name be inserted here and seen by all?)

Truly the challenge of a lifetime, I'm going to learn how to sail by circumnavigating the globe in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race 07/08. I'm giving up my career, life savings and life on dry land to take on what I am expecting to be the toughest challenge of my life. In order to match the 35,000 mile race through some of the world's most ferocious seas, I'm hoping to change the lives of children across the world by raising £35,000 -the equivalent of 11,665 pints (+half a shandy!)

Please, think about how much money you spend enjoying yourself on a night out. This charity helps children who will never have the opportunities available to you - please consider sacrificing the equivalent of a night out to make a real difference to individual lives. It's an enormous target that is as daunting to me as the sailing but if we all pull together, each donation will be a crucial step towards achieving a huge goal. Please also consider donating a small amount each month over the next 12 months. Thank you in anticipation of your generosity.

For more information on the charity, go to: www.pgmt.org.

I also intend to keep a diary while I'm away for those who would like to follow my progress... (www.donateapint.co.uk)

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Philip Green Memorial Trust 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!

Many thanks for your support.
