We don’t usually do sponsorship, in either direction, but during all our voyages and presentations we have made a point of raising money for kids and others with cancer as a memorial tribute to a couple of young friends.
Canteen
We (Alex Whitworth and Peter Crozier) have given numerous presentations to yacht clubs and other organisations on behalf of CanTeen, a charity for children living with cancer.
