Ocean Youth Trust North takes young people away from their everyday routine and inspires them to make positive changes to their lives through ‘Adventure under Sail’. We use sailing and the traditional practices of seafaring as tools for personal and social development. The Trust is the sole provider of challenging, residential sailing expeditions in the North of England for youth of all abilities and backgrounds. We partner with youth and educational organisations providing an opportunity for young people to achieve personal growth. The Trust is a member of the Association of Sail Training Organisations and the Institute for Outdoor Learning. It is a Royal Yachting Association Training Centre and approved to run The Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page for the James Cook C2C challenge.

I believe the OYT do a fantastic job giving young people from all walks of life the experience of a lifetime. I have seen first hand the positive influence that the charity has had on individuals and am proud to be a part of that. But I feel it is important that young people aren't prevented from coming aboard due to financial reasons, so that is why I am doing my part in raising £6000. Young people face a big challenge when they come aboard for the first time, well this is my big challenge as I have never cycled this distance before. But I am looking forward to it and have invested in a padded seat and lots of deep heat!

Last year I complete the Great North Run and raised about £1000 for the OYT, so please sponsor me again for my 2012 challenge - it is much appreciated.
