Sponsorship Opportunities

While I am able to cover the cost of my training and Leg 1 berth fees from my own personal funds, I need your help in order to make circumnavigation a reality. Different levels of sponsorship to suit every budget and rewards are outlined below, as well as a full breakdown of the costs involved in participating in this extreme physical and mental challenge.

If you or your company would like more information about sponsoring me at Bronze level or above, please contact me via the form here to receive a detailed sponsorship proposal covering the many benefits associated with sponsorship and to discuss which rewards you would like to receive.

Can't contribute hard cash? No problem - discounts at equipment suppliers, PR guidance, kit donations, help organising fundraising events, and introductions to potential sponsors are just some of the many ways that you could help me if you are unable to contribute financially. Paying my berth fee is just part of the journey - raising awareness, fundraising for British Red Cross, and purchasing equipment are all just as important.

Rewards available:

Some of the rewards I will be offering my supporters (this list is not exhaustive - personalised rewards are available and can be tailored to your needs):
