Vote for Geoff Holt in the Great Britons Award

0  comments

Calling all fellow limeys, I received this today from Geoff Holt's organization:
As you probably know, in December 2009, Geoff plans to sail a specially adapted, 60ft wheelchair accessible catamaran across the Atlantic to Tortola in the BVI, the place where he had his accident 25 years ago.  Full details of the project at www.personalatlantic.com
Last week Geoff was shortlisted by British Airways for a Great Britons Award. If he wins, BA will provide flights for his wife Elaine and son Timothy so they can be there when he arrives in the Caribbean which will be fantastic.  As of today, he is in 2nd place but there are only 5 days of voting left. Could you please spare a few moments to vote for Geoff.  Just go to http://www.greatbritons.ba.com/users/5525  Anyone wanting to sign up to follow his Atlantic progress can do so by clicking http://www.personalatlantic.com/user/register to register.
