For many young people simply picking up where they left off before their diagnosis isn’t possible. The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that supports young people aged 8-24 to rebuild their confidence after cancer through sailing and outdoor adventure trips.

Story

We're back for our another year and we're asking you to take the plunge for the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust at the Gurnard Green Boxing Day Dip!

Join us at 11am at the sailing club and #DaretoDip with us for our 11th year of this exhilarating tradition. But don’t worry if you don’t live on the Isle of Wight – that’s no excuse to duck out! Whether you’re by the coast, near a chilly lake, or at your local lido, you can still take the plunge wherever you are – just find a splash of water and dive in!

It might take your breath away, but it’s nothing compared to the shock young people and their families face when they first hear the word 'cancer.' Your support will help us to get more young people on the water in 2026 and inspire them to believe in a brighter future living through and beyond cancer. Wherever you are, your support will make a real splash!
