My story

 
"You organise it, and I'll sail it" Simple words, but they mean more than their sum. Being the birth spot of speed, Weymouth has launched more than it's fair share of challenges, but in 2008 I witnessed the start of a challenge that can be truly life changing. Doctors confirmed that David Tuttlebee had cancer, heart-breaking news for anyone, but this was the second time he'd had to receive such news. He's already fought and won a battle with the big C, and was planning a fund raising challenge to help others in their battles. Amazingly it was the threat against this plan rather than the impact on his life that appeared to worry him most. Having lived with the treatment and mental anguish that accompanies it, I saw my chance to say thanks to those who helped me, and return a favour to a friend. Sharing our experience does help, if nothing else, just getting a heads up to what's coming next can take the fright of finding your hair laying next to you when the morning wakes you. But what David wanted was more than a friendly ear, but someone to fill his foot straps on the water. That honour is mine, I'm proud to be able to support his event, sunrise to sunset. I'll be taking to the water off Hayling Island at first light on the May 3rd, hopefully many of you will be able to join me, if not in person, then in spirit on your own beach. But while we can share the experience, we'd want to see others come through their battle and return to the water, and the best way we can do that, is open our wallets. By supporting me both on and off the water, we can raise the funds to make that battle a little easier Thanks for your support Dave
