Transversal Charity Cup 2014

Sailing the Solent for The Rowans Hospice charity!

I am fortunate to once again be participating in the Transversal Charity Cup sailing regatta. A fleet of J109 yachts will compete in the Solent racing from Cowes, Isle of Wight to Port Hamble.

Each boat will be racing for a nominated charity, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed yachts will win £1,000, £500, and £250, provided by Transversal.

To participate in the event each individual is expected to raise money for a charity of their choice. This year I have chosen to raise money for The Rowans Hospice in memory of my Mother-in-Law. Peggy spent time in the care of the excellent team at Purbrook, and she was treated with great care and above all the dignity and respect she deserved.

At some point in our lives we will need the assistance and care of others. The Rowans Hospice, along with many other organisations of a similar nature, are there when you need them most, as well as there for the ones you love most.

Please give as much as you can to help; in the knowledge that you are actually helping these exceptional people help others in what is often a most painful and difficult time.

The top three participants who raise the most money will win a cash prize for their charity - £500, £250 and £125.

Your support and donation would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.
