About

We are sailing for disability, inclusion and impact!

Please sponsor our 23rd Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.

My Story

After overcoming MS and a broken ankle, Greg returns to the Sydney to Hobart with determination and purpose. With 11 years of volunteering with MWF, he has sailed over 26,000 nautical miles and supports inclusion on every voyage.

Greg’s story of resilience demonstrates the power of perseverance and the life-changing impact of sailing. Your support allows Greg and the crew to continue empowering participants, breaking down barriers, and inspiring hope and confidence in young Australians.

Good luck, Greg, from the Making Waves Foundation!
