For the overwhelming majority, true freedom is largely a dream. The lucky ones are those who find it or who help others to do so. In a world too often given to material pursuits few allow themselves the time to appreciate that gift of helping others. As I left, I had no idea what I might find in the open waters of the Atlantic. By the time I returned, family and friends had donated over ?40,000 to two childrens’ charities.
Thank you all. Your generosity and support helped me, somewhere deep in the Atlantic, to experience my own extraordinary sense of freedom.
