Sea Cadets Offshore Training
Donation protected
My name is Orlando and I am a 15 year old who lives in Northern Aberdeenshire. I have just completed my National 5 exams and will be staying on at school for another year to do some Scottish Highers. But I'm not your average 'teenage girl', I like to live life to the full and challenege myself for the better. I LOVE sailing, it's my passion !
Last year, 2014, I completed my 'Sail the UK' challenge, which entailed sailing several hundred miles on the Sea Cadets Flag Ship, the TS Royalist. Alongside that I raised over £300, which I gave to my Sea Cadet Unit in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, to enable a Cadet who hadn't had the chance to go on one of the offshore voyages with the Cadets to be able to go.
I love sailing offshore, it is a passion and once it gets under your skin you really enjoy the constant challenges it throws at you and the feeling of exhilleration when you overcome them. It takes working as a team to a whole new level when your out in the sea, no land in sight and just your shipmates for company.
I think every Sea Cadet should have the opportunity to go offshore and undertake some sail training. But at a cost of £275 per cadet per week, it is a lot of money for some famillies. So if I can raise some money to help cadets be able to experience what I enjoy so much, then I feel it would be giving something back to the cadets, as I have learnt so much, gained so much, both educationally and personally at the Sea Cadets.
Please help me raise £550 to send 2 cadets on an off shore voyage next year, so that they can get that experience.
I have already sailed 465 miles offshore this year and I will soon be departing from London on board the tall ship Atyla. I will be on Atyla for 10 weeks, travelling roughly 3000 nautical miles. I would love for you to sponsor me.
Thank you
