 74-year-old Richard Kerswell is taking on an epic challenge for charity while also ticking off an item from his bucket list!

Richard, who grew up in Tanzania and now lives in Penzance, Cornwall is currently sailing around the UK - single handedly in aid of Give the World a Shot and Orphans in the Wild.

80 per cent will go to Give the World a Shot aims to provide Covid vaccines for the third world, and the rest to Orphans in the Wild which cares for HIV orphaned children and foster families in Tanzania.
