The Kid's Cancer Project

Ben the Bear: keeping an eye on the competition as tactician aboard 2014 Sydney to Hobart winner, Wild Rose.

Once again this year, Wild Rose is raising money for The Kids' Cancer Project which funds research into very aggressive childhood cancers.  

Our efforts with The Kid's Cancer Project isn't just about raising money either.   We've had the privilege of taking some kids and their families on Wild Rose out on Sydney Harbour over the past few years.  

Every cent helps, as does every minute to Hobart in the great race south, so we are grateful for any support you generously provide.  To donate please go to:  https://sydneyhobart2015.everydayhero.com/au/wild-rose.

Thanks and see you soon.

Postscript: Remember Ben the Bear ("BtB") who sailed with us on Wild Rose in the 2011 Rolex Sydney Hobart Race?  He decided that once was enough.  His younger, smaller siblings will join us again this year.

Swannies fans will recognise the face on the left.  Little Archie had chemo before sailing with us.  
He is in remission and he and his family are doing well.

Ben and his bottle of rum = we taught him some bad habits.

Kids went crazy on the boat on a family day. Many parents comment on how much the kids smile
while mucking around on the boat.
