Solent Coasts Cycling Challenge · 18 February 2008

Without financial support from other people, 1996 Olympic 470 Silver Medallist, John Merricks would never have been able to fulfil his ambitions and demonstrate his remarkable talent for sailing. Set up by those closest to John following his untimely death, The John Merricks Sailing Trust seeks to help other young sailors (under 25) achieve their goals.

Story

It was a privilege to have known and sailed with Johnny.  He was a master on the water , always giving up his time to listen and help up coming sailors ! He was a great guy to hang around with especially in the bar !  Sadly he has gone, but  I  still have many fond memories  All money raised by the JMST gives those up coming sailors the chance to achieve their goals and suceeed the the greatest sport in the world! 

I will be competing in the Solent Challenge on the 21st of June 08 . My goal loose some lard , complete the 66mile course and raise a bunch of cash for the future stars of British sailing!

So please dig deep ! You know it's going to a good cause !
