Isle Of Wight Tourist Guide

Description

Our aim at The Ellen MacArthur Trust is to support, empower and enliven children aged between 8-18 suffering from cancer, leukaemia or other serious illnesses by introducing them to the joys of sailing on the sea.

The Trust was launched by the internationally-renowned sailor Ellen MacArthur on 2nd January 2003. In Ellen’s words: "These are really special kids. In many ways they are just they same as everyone else, they are interested in the same things as kids their age, they have the same goals in life, but the difference is that they do this with a huge challenge ahead of them.

I face challenges out on the water, but these are challenges that I choose to do. They on the other hand don´t have this luxury. They battle against something harder than many of us could ever imagine and they do it with the biggest smiles on their faces. To me they are truly inspirational and if The Ellen MacArthur Trust can help them in their battle in any way then that is a fantastic achievement."
