Hi,

I'm taking part in the Clipper Round the World Race 25/26 as crew for Team Lou on 'Tongyeong'. I'll be joining in Jan 2026 to race from Australia up to China; visiting our boat's home port of Tongyeong in South Korea; racing across the North Pacific; then US coast-to-coast through the Panama Canal.

You can follow our progress live on the Clipper website.

It's going to be the toughest challenge of my life. Whether you think I'm crazy, lucky or both, please donate to this very worth cause...

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.

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.
