Current expedition – Circumnavigation of Madagascar – click here

In May 2002 my life changed forever when I departed from Aberystwyth in Wales to circumnavigate Great Britain by Sea Kayak.  Shortly before my brother Mark died from cancer I made a promise to him to one day raise money for the Leukaemia Research fund.  I have now finally kept that promise and over 35,000 pounds has been raised.

After successfully becoming the youngest person to circumnavigate Great Britain I have been working in the kayaking industry ever since.  I now coach and lead expeditions on the Sea, down Rivers and in the Surf.  This website has been designed to easily navigate between the kayaking for cancer websites and my current projects.

The Kayaking For Cancer expeditions were documented by two BBC websites.  They contain interactive maps with Audio, Video, text and photographic reports.

Thank you to everyone for their donations.  The generosity during kayaking for cancer has amazed me.  Every donation makes a huge difference.  If you would like to donate to kayaking for cancer please click the link

Happy Paddling
