UNICEF has been both a Charity and Team Partner for the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race since the 2015-16 edition and during this time has raised £1.6 million for children around the world.

I have decided to participate in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race 2025-26 and am looking to circumnavigate with my team. We will start on 31st August 2025 from Portsmouth and return by end July 2026.

Over the duration of my race campaign I also want to raise some money for our UNICEF, not only supporting my team on board but also ashore. Children are our future and I feel very privileged for how I grew up and the possibility to take on something like the Clipper Race. So please help to make the world a little bit better by donating through my page and sharing with as many people as possible.

This is one way for you to become part of our team and help us get ahead of the other teams, just as we will try onboard, once the race has started.

UNICEF has 15,000 people working for children in more than 190 countries, responding to emergencies and building long-term resilience. We save children's lives with vaccines, clean water, and therapeutic food. We protect children from violence, exploitation, and abuse. We empower children through quality education. And we seek to create a safe and sustainable world where children can live, learn and grow.

Every pound you raise will make a difference to every child, every day, everywhere.

- A donation of £165 could buy a wheelchair for a child with limited mobility

- A donation of £275 could buy a midwifery kit containing all of the medicines, medical supplies and sterilisation equipment for a maternity ward to support the delivery of 50 babies
