Around Britain Challenge supporter of Toe in the Water

Over the 2009 summer I teamed up with my charity for the voyage, Toe in the Water. Having seen first hand the incredible work they do whilst racing against them in the J80’s I decided to use the project to raise both awareness and funds for them.

In the near future I will be starting up a sponsor-by-the-mile initiative where at £1 a mile (2500 miles - £2 500) I will be able to raise £2 500 for Toe in the Water. I will also be carrying their battle flag to raise awareness as I sail around Britain.

The tri-service initiative aims to inspire the men and women who have sustained often traumatic injuries, including the loss of limbs, to move beyond their disability and to become re-inspired by life. Competitive sailing is a physically and mentally challenging adventurous sport and provides a unique opportunity for injured men and women to sail and race on equal terms with their able-bodied contemporaries.
