A passion for being by the sea and afloat on the water since I was a toddler has fuelled my dream to become a sailor in the maritime industry. In October, I hope to partake in a 14-week-course to assist me in my aspirations to see the world before eventually becoming crew on superyachts, a yacht instructor, etc. However, sailing isn't cheap, and this course certainly isn't either. This is my pride and joy and there's nothing a sail can't do for me - being a Type One Diabetic too I've forever felt trapped and excluded from activities alike, I've decided it's time for me to reach out and get myself out there. I plan to continue to work hard to finish my A Levels and take up a job over the summer but I know I will not be able to even get near the 10k sum. I truly am passionate for a life on the sea. Any contribution regardless of size would be so very gratefully received. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
