I have always had a fascination, love, and healthy respect for water and the sea, and when I first heard about the Clipper Race I immediately knew that I wanted to take part. Taking part in the Clipper Race to me represents a wealth of opportunity to test myself to the limits (and find out where those limits are), learn new skills, and also to explore the world in a truly unique and exciting way.
While taking part in the Clipper Race I intend to raise sponsorship for British Red Cross, a charity that is very close to my heart. I have already raised over £1200 this year by taking part in walking and hiking challenges, and I can't wait to take to the seas for this incredible charity and help raise funds and awareness of the work that they do.
Taking part in the Clipper Race is also a chance for me to be part of something bigger than myself – part of a team, working to support the invaluable work of British Red Cross and Official Race Charity UNICEF, and inspiring others to push themselves to take on new and exciting challenges every day.
