Quotes on Sarah: "Sarah Outen has already demonstrated her skill and determination in her record breaking row across the Indian Ocean. London to London via The World is a significantly greater challenge. She will face dangers on a daily basis which only the hardiest could tolerate. But I’m sure she will succeed and confirm that she is an adventurer and expeditioner second to none. We, in the Transglobe Expedition Trust are delighted to be among her supporters and wish her every success not only in the physical challenges but also in her admirable work with schools. Definitely mad. Definitely marvellous." Ran Fiennes OBE “When I first met her, I knew that Sarah Outen was a very special person with fire in her belly.” “ I wish Sarah good luck for London2London via the world, I think it’s a fantastic project particularly working with young people to inspire them and to teach them all about her journeys – I really look forward to following it.” Dame Ellen MacArthur "What a brilliant dream to take on. Her cycling route will be a rich tapestry of cultures and a whole new challenge in contrast to the vast emptiness of the oceans. Knowing Sarah, I have no doubt of her endurance and resilience as well as her natural ability to share the journey." Mark Beaumont, round the world cyclist & documentary maker ‘Sarah – you are obviously certifiably bonkers. Thank God’ Dawn French Sarah’s Inspiration: Sarah says: ‘I dedicated my Indian Ocean row to the memory of my Dad, Derek Outen. He died very suddenly and unexpectedly in 2006 having suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for nearly 20 years. He was diagnosed when I was just a wee toddler. Often it would knock him flat out for days on end. But Dad was an unstoppable force. He was courageous, determined and stubborn in his fight to keep going through the trials and setbacks of operations and illness. Without doubt, he has been and will remain, one of the greatest inspirations in my life. When days were tough out on the ocean, the memory of his courage and spirited fight kept me going and got me to the other side.” Sarah’s Indian Ocean row raised £30,000 for charities working to represent and support people with arthritis. London2London Charities: Sarah Outen will be raising money for: Coppafeel! The charity set up by Kristin Hallenga has a mission is to stamp out late detection and misdiagnosis of breast cancer by ensuring that people know the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, know what their boobs look and feel like normally, check their boobs regularly throughout their lifetime and have the confidence to seek medical referral when they detect abnormalities. http://www.coppafeel.org/ The Jubilee Sailing Trust : The Jubilee Sailing Trust is a registered charity whose mission is to promote the integration of people of all physical abilities through the challenge and adventure of sailing tall ships on the open sea. The Trust owns and operates Lord Nelson and Tenacious, the only two tall ships in the world designed and built to enable people of all physical abilities to sail side-by-side as equals. http://www.jst.org.uk MND Association: The MND Association is the only national charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland that funds and promotes global research into the disease and provides support for people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. http://www.mndassociation.org Water Aid: WaterAid is an international non governmental organisation whose mission is to transform lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation in the world's poorest communities. http://www.wateraid.org.uk Sarah on Coppafeel! I don't have enough fingers to count the people I know who have had breast cancer, and being so close in age to Kristin Hallenga, Founder of Coppafeel!, her story brought it home all the more, that breast cancer knows no age. I shall be coppin' a feel right around the world. What Kristin has done with Coppafeel! continues to inspire me and I know it will spur me on to keep pedalling, rowing and paddling as I journey round the world. She is a friend and heroine of the 21st Century and I am proud to be supporting their mission. Sarah on the Jubilee Sailing Trust I have always loved getting out on the water and I am always keen to support charities that help others to do the same, particularly since watching my own father lose his independence and freedom for such activities through severe rheumatoid arthritis. I look forward to joining a JST voyage on my return and meanwhile wish them fair winds and happy sailing. Sarah on MND Association A close friend of mine lost her Mum to MND around the same time that my Dad died - so the impact of this disease hit home in a very raw and emotional way. When I came across Patrick Joyce and his campaign for MNDA in 2010, I was inspired to find out more. I am now proud to call him a friend and am even more inspired to do my bit in the fight against MND. The battles of those living with MND are far worse than my battles out on expedition, so I will use Patrick's optimism and energy as fuel when times get tough. Sarah on WaterAid Water is life and without it life is nothing. This became so clear to me out on my Indian row in 2009 when I ran low on water. That is why I am so keen to support WaterAid's work - in the hope that one day we will all have access to fresh, clean water, no matter where we live. Sarah’s Sponsors: TITLE SPONSOR: Accenture, Major Sponsors: Mars, Ernst & Young, Iridium Supporting sponsors: Santos Bikes , Gill, Berghaus, Kokatat, Rockpool Kayaks, Iridium Sarah on Accenture I am really proud and very excited to be working with Accenture as Title Sponsor. Their global reach is a perfect reflection of the expedition. The UK team is using the London2London story to tie in with the training of the latest batch of Analysist to join Accenture – we are all on a two year journey. This all happened quite recently – and they have certainly lived up to their own expectations of their tag line; ‘High Performance. Delivered.’ Sarah on E&Y 'Ernst & Young were the first company to sign up to be a Major Sponsor, and I am happy to be working closely with their Young Academy. Entrepreneurship is very similar to running and setting up expeditions - so I think we can share lessons both ways very well indeed. I am proud to have them on board.' Sarah on Mars 'Mars bars are my favourite chocolate for expeditions and I know I can rely on them to give me a boost when my energy is low. I am proud that they are a Major Sponsor of myLondon2London expedition' Sarah on Iridium 'Iridium is everywhere - so I know I can rely on the coverage wherever I am in the world. It allows me to keep in touch with my team, my family and my supporters, sharing the stories as I go. I am proud that they are a Major Sponsor of my London2London expedition' Sarah on Santos (bike) If anyone knows how to make a solid bike it is the Dutch! And Santos is no exception. I am happy and proud to be a Santos rider and look forward to pedalling my Travelmaster (named Hercules) round the world. Sarah on Berghaus Having supported my Indian row in 2009 I am proud to work with Berghaus again - it's great to have a British brand on board, and one which I know I can trust and enjoy right around the world. Sarah on Gill (rowing/sailing clothing) Out on the ocean I need to know I can rely on my gear to keep me safe, warm and dry - and Gill does just that. I trusted them on the Indian Ocean in 2009 and am proud to welcome them back as my partner for the Pacific and Atlantic. Sarah on Kokatat (kayaking clothing) 'When it comes to kayaking clothing, no one else comes close to Kokatat. I love my gear and trust it to the hilt. A great company and philosophy and some brilliant kit too.' Sarah on Rockpool kayaks 'I first paddled a Rockpool on a summer course in Cornwall. I loved the way they handled and the quirky finish as well - who else has a glittery boat? I'm proud to be paddling an Alaw on my expedition and really enjoy the space of the cockpit on long trips.'
