In this episode host Abbie sits down with Jill from the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust and Matt, a young person who recently joined one of their sailing trips. Together, they explore how the charity transforms lives by taking young people living through and beyond cancer on unforgettable sailing adventures. From overcoming fears to building confidence and friendships, this conversation dives deep into why being out on the water is more than just a trip: it’s a turning point.

During the discussion we learn how Ellen MacArthur turned her passion for sailing into a charity that now supports over 700 young people every year, and what a typical four-day sailing trip looks like, from learning knots to epic water fights between yachts. Matt shares why saying “yes” to the trip became one of the best experiences of his life, and we hear how sailing helps rebuild confidence, independence, and connection after cancer treatment.
