“Cowes Week Fundraiser for the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust ”

on 4 August 2026

We're incredibly proud to be the charity partner for North Sails Cowes Week 2026. To celebrate this and the 200th anniversary of the event, we are asking friends and supporters of the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust to take on our challenge.

Story

New heights! You may not know but I am petrified of heights however to help support The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust I will be hoisted up the mast of their yacht Solent hero, off Trinity Landing in Cowes, Isle of Wight on Tuesday the 4th August at 16:30. Please come along and watch me overcome my fear for 10 minutes and donate. If you cant make it please donate here.

This terrifying experience is only for 10 minutes whereas the young people facing cancer affects them before, during and after treatment.

The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that takes young people aged 8-24 on sailing and outdoor adventures to inspire them to believe in a brighter future living through and beyond cancer.

As the Official Charity Partner of this year's North Sails Cowes Week, the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is helping to celebrate 200 years of Cowes Week through the Mast Climb Challenge, a unique fundraising experience aboard Solent Hero. I'm taking on the challenge to raise vital funds so the Trust can continue supporting young people as they rebuild their confidence after cancer.
