Oceans of Hope Sailing Leg, 26 January 2017

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you might know I am a sailor with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) who likes adventure ! On January 26th I will be joining an incredible circumnavigation of the world called 'Oceans Of Hope' www.sailing-sclerosis.com.

I will be sailing with other crew members with MS who come from all over the world. We want to show everyone that we live our lives to the fullest and that dreams can come true despite us having a serious disease.

The leg that I am sailing on as part of the circumnavigation of the world is from Panama City to The Galapagos Islands ! This is a voyage of 1000 nautical miles which will take around 2 weeks to complete.

I am raising money for the West Yorkshire MS therapy centre as without their help I would not be fit enough to sail. I regularly attend Tricia's Pilates class which has built up both my leg and arm strength. The centre has had to move premises recently and this has used up all its reserve money. It needs your help to keep running all its valuable services for people with MS.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks so much for supporting my adventure and the West Yorkshire MS Therapy centre.

I will be impossible when I get back and will be raising money and publicity for 'Oceans Of Hope' through public speaking events. You have been warned !
