Polar Bound for Daft as a Brush!

82 year old cancer patient takes on his greatest challenge to raise funds to purchase new cancer patient ambulances!
Newcastle yachtsman, David Scott Cowper, 82, was the first man to sail solo round the world in both directions.
Awarded Honorary Freedom of the City of Newcastle, Mr Cowper, who is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer, is now taking on a huge personal challenge; a return voyage through the Northwest Passage - the sea lane between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Arctic Ocean, while emphasising the services of local charity Daft as a Brush Cancer Patient Care.
The sailing was to depart in July 2023, but David's cancer diagnosis meant the adventure was put on hold. Mr Cowper has been undergoing Radiotherapy.
