Raising money for The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust

Charity Registration No. 1096491

The Ellen MacArthur Trust takes young people aged between 8-18 sailing to help them regain their confidence, on their way to recovery from cancer, leukaemia and other serious illness. Sailing is perfect for these children; it gives them a chance to test themselves in a safe and supportive environment. Simply the experience of going out on the water for the first time is an adventure. Each child has the challenge of helping sail the yachts throughout the voyage and takes part in all aspects of the trip from sailing the yacht to the washing up! The children come from all over the country, including Northern Ireland, London, Essex, Sheffield, Dorset, Wiltshire, Hertfordshire, Hampshire, Kent, Nottingham & Ellen’s birthplace, Derbyshire.

When i set off around Britain in my 21ft sailing boat, Kudu, I did it for no other reason than my own personal experience. I didn't have sponsorship, and I wasn't collecting money for a charity. I set off in an effort to circumnavigate Britain on a shoestring budget and that was my only goal.

I departed on the 2nd of May, and since then my life has been changed by the goodwill of others I have met along the way. I have also, quite unexpectedly, received a good deal of attention for my voyage, and so I thought the least I could do to offer something back was to support a charity.

I have chosen the Ellen MacArthur Trust for a number of reasons, aptly, Ellen first came to fame by doing just what I am now, circumnavigating Britain in the same type of boat as mine (A Corribee), but more importantly, because I believe what the trust is working towards is absolutely worthwhile.

Please take the time to read what your donation would go towards supporting, because I think it is a truly well deserved cause. After months or even years of virtual imprisonment by their illness, the freedom attained from being on the water, powered by the wind and sea and controlled by your own hands, must be a remarkable experience for these children. So if you have been enjoying my blog or youtube video series, please consider making a donation. http://onkudu.wordpress.com
