Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou and Stelios Philanthropic Foundation are incredibly proud of disabled adventurer Geoff Holt MBE DL and 2015 Stelios Disabled Entrepreneur Award winner, who after dedicating his life to providing access to the sea for all disabled people embarked on his latest voyage circumnavigating Great Britain, demonstrating there are No Limits To Our Dreams. Celebrating 40 years in a wheelchair, Geoff skippered a Wetwheels boat in aid of the Wetwheels Foundation, the charity he founded to enable barrier-free opportunities on the water for all. Departing on 13 May with the Lord Mayor of City of London Michael Mainelli to wave them off, the challenge was to raise £1.2m for 4 new Wetwheels Boats. Embarking on a journey to 17 accessible ports across the UK, Geoff and his team faced unpredictable weather, the vessel’s endurance whilst looking after the crew’s safety and wellbeing and Geoff taking on the challenge from his wheelchair, they did it! We are delighted to support this incredible challenge, Geoff, his team and the charity. Many congratulations! https://lnkd.in/e_3ikW_x; https://lnkd.in/djDksfbF
