Anna Wardley

Anna Wardley set herself the challenge of swimming around five Islands; Dragonera (Mallorca), Portsea (Hampshire), Jersey (Channel Islands), Tiree (Inner Hebrides) and the Isle of Wight (Solent) to raise awareness and money – her target a whopping £50,000 – for a range of charities.

As well as raising money for the Samaritans and Sail Africa (improving the life chances of disadvantaged young people in Durban through sailing), Anna also raised money for Isle of Wight charity, the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.
