Welcome to the Ellen MacArthur Trust
Our aim is to support, empower and enliven children suffering from cancer or leukaemia by introducing them to the joys of sailing on the sea. The Trust was launched by the internationally-renowned sailor Ellen MacArthur on 2nd January 2003. In Ellen’s words: “Meeting the challenge of sailing at sea, the children gain confidence and are reminded that there is life beyond their illness. At the same time they meet friends suffering from the same disease, which reminds them they are not alone in their struggle.”

Sailing For Justice
Sailing for Justice, associated with Global Ocean Challenge and Make Poverty History. My ambition to sail round the world has origins back to 1984 and Live Aid. In 2002 I was directed by the editor of Yachting World, Andrew Bray, to contact Josh Hall whom he thought would take an interest in my project and be willing to help. Within two minutes of my call to Josh he said he would help and has supported my cause ever since. Once Josh and I became friends I asked him why he had been so willing to help and so readily. His reply will stay with me for ever. "There was something in your voice and in your cause, sailing has been good to me and by helping you this is a great opportunity to give something back for all I have received".

Louies Last Regatta
Louie’s Last Regatta was started in 1999 by a group of Milwaukee sailors who basically wanted one more sailing regatta before they had to pull their boats from the water. To make their effort more attractive to sailors thinking about snow shovels and ski trips this devoted group decided to make Louie’s into a charity event. The first Louie’ Last Regatta brought in $900 and twelve boats participated.
The event grew steadily in popularity and money raised. Major sponsors came forward, boat crews donated and the post race party grew. Louie’s Challenge otherwise known as “sanctioned bribery” was a unique and surprisingly popular fund raising feature of the Regatta. Started in 2001 boat crews could bribe the race committee for a better finish position, with all money going to Children’s Hospital.
