Dame Ellen MacArthur is set to sail alongside young people supported by her cancer charity after confirming she will take part in this year's Round the Island Race on Saturday 25th June.
This year, up to 30 young people, who have all previously sailed with the Trust after cancer treatment, will race the renowned 50nm course on five boats, bidding to get the 2022 Trust Round the Island bragging rights.
Ellen admits she can't wait to be a part of it. She said: "I am really excited to be taking part in this year's Round the Island Race and sailing with young people the Trust supports again. Every time I sail with the young people I am inspired by their positivity, desire to push themselves and their infectious sense of fun and adventure.
The Round the Island Race is such an amazing event to be involved in, and for the young people to be at the centre of the action, enjoying the sights, the spectacle, and the racing, is an experience to remember. I hope everyone has a great race and see you on the start line!"
