Yacht Crew Vlogs with Robert Munns of Oceans for Hope UK and the New Zealand Sailing Trust

Season 1, Episode 179,   Sep 09, 2020, 05:00 PM

Welcome to Oceans of Hope UK

We are a charity based in the UK which organises sailing events for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

We are the home of the award-winning Oceans of Hope Challenges, offering people from all over the world the opportunity to sail alongside others with MS.

MS is a chronic condition where the body attacks the brain and nervous system, leading to physical, cognitive and emotional challenges, many of which are not always obvious and are difficult to explain. Oceans of Hope brings together people with MS into a sailing environment, working collectively to overcome these challenges. Time on board a Challenge vessel leads to increased confidence and an improvement in wellbeing, giving hope for the future.

You don't need to have any experience of sailing - our challenges are open to all with MS.

Robert himself began his MS journey in 2008. In 2014 he started his journey to hope thru getting back out on the water and helping others with this disease do the same! This past year Robert joined forces with the Team at New Zealand Sailing Trust to enable those in both New Zealand and Australia get their chance on the water. Tune in to hear his journey, why he started the Oceans of Hope UK, and where he is going next. Please do listen to the end as their is an important plea that he is giving and would love your help to realize the dreams of many!
