Raising money for

Jubilee Sailing trust

Charity Registration No. 277810

We have seen time and time again, the benefits to both able-bodied and disabled people who have sailed on the LORD NELSON and TENACIOUS. Any help you are able to give will enable us to continue to make a difference, not just on our ships but in the homes, workplaces and communities of all our voyage crew. So many of the lessons learnt on our ships.

My story

*** NEWS FLASH ***

It's Tuesday morning, 27th May, and yesterday all eight riders arrived in Land's End after setting off last Friday afternoon.

A massive well done to everyone involved, great stuff lads, and huge thanks go out to everyone who has supported our trip.

Long live the Lymo to Lands End Ride!

*************

The year was 1998 and the month was May when nine students and two teachers from Priestlands School left Lymington on bicycles bound for Lands End.

The trip was a gruelling slog that took just over three days, riding around 90 miles a day. Needless to say it was a huge success, and thanks to support from the local community, raised more than £2,000 for local charities.

Ten years on, and to prove to ourselves that we can still do it, and to raise money for charity again, all 11 riders are reuniting to take on the Lymington to Lands End challenge again over the same weekend in May.

We are coming from all over the globe to ride – some are coming back from France, and one friend is coming back from the Caribbean just to be part of the trip. We're all a lot older, a bit heavier and not quite as agile - but we're set on completing the trip.

The charity we have chosen to ride for is the Jubilee Sailing Trust, a Southampton-based charity which helps disabled people go sailing. They do brilliant work, and it's a charity close to our hearts. check them out at www.jst.org.uk.

If you think you could support our challenge, even if it's just a few quid, please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Jubilee Sailing 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 us now!

Many thanks for your support.
