My story

 
Thank you for visiting the Sail for Charity fundraising page.

Sail for Charity was set up in 2005 to raise funds for popular charities through sailing-related activities. After last year's success at Cowes Week 2006, raising almost £7,000 for Sail4Cancer, we've set ourselves an even higher target for 2007.

The Sail for Charity team will be raising funds by competing at highest levels during the 8 day regatta that is Skandia Cowes Week 2007. Each day involves an early start for the dedicated crew who must be out on the water with the boat powered up and ready for the start of the race - a race which will take teams to sea come rain or shine, demanding skill, determination and focussed effort throughout.

Team sponsorship from Healthsure, plus the money paid by crew members for their space on the boat covers all costs, so your donations and sponsorship go direct and entirely to the Ellen MacArthur Trust. Please sponsor us - we can assure you based on last year's experience, we will be working very hard for your money!

We've decided this year to support The Ellen MacArthur Trust because their work  benefits children who's lives are affected by serious illnesses including Cancer and Leukaemia. As parents ourselves, this seems an obvious choice.

If you feel you can help, then 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 us: The Ellen MacArthur 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.

If you would like your sponsorship to be attributed to a specific team member, please include their name in your message.

Please keep an eye on our web page www.sailforcharity.com if you would like more details of the team's efforts and progress.

Many thanks for your support.
