skipper tracy edwards crosses the line with the first ever all—female crew to sail the whitbread roundnd the globe. "is this her, is this the actual boat?" and i was like, "yeah". and they were like, "the actual boat? !" "yes!" it'sjust wonderful! but covid—19 has hit the funds for her charity, jeopardising the project. so, bold as ever, tracy asked some special friends for help. i'm here to welcome you to the maiden crowdfunder. as you know, children's education has been hard hit by this horrifying virus and it impacted all their futures. what you may not know is that disadvantaged and vulnerable girls are most at risk for not being able to return to their education or having access to it. and it's made out of maiden's hull... but tracy is also selling her most personal possessions from maiden, including her own medal from the epic voyage. until, that is, last night. i had an e—mailfrom someone, a lady, saying... oh, i almost can't say this. sorry. and then i had an e—mail from a lady, saying, "we're donating £10,000 to the crowdfunder. please, please, don't, don't sell your medal." m
