Dame Ellen MacArthur is calling on Round the Island Race sailors to inspire young people to believe in a brighter future living through and beyond cancer while celebrating the race’s 90th anniversary by racing to raise ‘90 in 90’ as her charity prepares to set sail again in 2021.
The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is once again the official charity of this year’s Round the Island Race and you can help change hundreds of young lives by fundraising for the Trust through taking part in the race.
Young people are set to be back on the water with the Trust this year after COVID saw all their 2020 sailing and outdoor activities cancelled. And to celebrate this – and the race’s 90th anniversary – the Trust is inviting entrants to raise at least £90 – either individually or as boats – by encouraging family and friends to sponsor you in this year’s race.
Since becoming the official Round the Island Race charity in 2005, an incredible £299,266 has been raised for the Trust, making a huge difference to hundreds of young lives. Now, by going to www.justgiving.com/campaign/RoundTheIsland2021 and setting up your fundraising page or donating you will get the charity past the magic £300,000 milest
one!
