Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

To celebrate my recent retirement I have planned a big adventure: to sail the Atlantic! On 23 October 2009 I will be fulfilling a life long ambition when I set sail from Dartmouth on board Bold Explorer, a 46 foot steel yatch, with 3 other crew and a skipper.  The journey will take me via Madeira, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde before finally dropping anchor in the Virgin Islands in late December.

I plan to raise lots of money for the educational work of the Queen’s Nursing Institute, the charity that supports community nurses in the UK. Please sponsor me so that I can continue to improve education for community nurses.

If you would like to follow my journey, you can read my blog on the QNI website http://www.qni.org.uk/support-us/Karen-Melling.html.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you.
