Being a medium-sized charity with income of £1.3m, the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust knows the importance of raising awareness of its cause to gain supporters. To this end, the charity is organising the Round Britain 2017 initiative, sailing round the country in a national relay.

Starting this summer, the trust is taking a total of 100 young people, who have all previously sailed with the charity during their recovery from cancer, on an epic 2,000-mile, 17-leg challenge of a lifetime sailing round the UK.
