 Good, good. All right, and let's start showing it with you and tell me a bit about Lily's on the law. How did that come about and how does that fit into the picture? So it fits in, basically. I worked for children in Crossfire and during the lockdown, obviously, we were all stopped from doing everything we normally do and I would normally be out in the evenings doing different events, you know, just busy meeting friends and all that. And so we all find ourselves, you know, stuck at home, not able to do what we normally do. And I got me thinking, you know, what did I use to do or, you know, what would I like to do that I've maybe put off? And sailing was one of those things. So after the lockdown kind of lifted, I signed up for a weekend course and I went sailing for a weekend and I was like, yes, absolutely love this. And so I bought a wee small old sailing boat and just got, you know, absolutely fell in love with the sport and from there then, some of my friends started to join in and we had an open day as well in our yacht club and we had a female only sailing day and we had, it must have been around 30 women turn up for that event. And so from then we just realized there was an appetite there for women to get empty sailing. And so we formed a small group of women who, you know, put white sailing for the crack but we also have a sailing team who race every week and our club as well, which is great fun. All right, so that's how it formed really. There's a recreational element and then there's a competitive element. Exactly, exactly, they're shopping for everyone. So the thing is that you're all relatively new to sailing and yet here you are heading off around the entire coastline. Yeah, so some of the members of the club are saying, you know, sometimes it's better not knowing maybe what you're going to face. A lot of them maybe haven't taken on a challenge like this yet and some of them have. So we've been getting lots of advice and, you know, lots of guidance around what we might encounter and what we need to be prepared for. And so we've been planning now for months and putting in the time to train and just make sure that we are prepared for anything that might happen along the way but it will be a massive challenge. We are very, very new in relative terms. So, you know, most of us are only really property sailing for, you know, the past two years with Anna being the most recent designer. She's been sailing now only for like six months. So, you know, it's going to be an amazing adventure. It will be a challenge, but by the time we come back I'm hoping we're going to fail 10 foot tall for having achieved it. Absolutely, absolutely. It'll be a real test for you all but hopefully everybody will come through it and it'll all go to plan. Richard, overcoming adversity, nothing new to you. Tell me a wee bit, first of all, about the charity and where hopefully the money will go. Hi, well, children in Crossfire, we set it up. Well, I launched it back in 1996, which was 27 years ago now, Shaun. And, you know, I suppose the reason why I started it was in response to my own Paris Mall story, which you mentioned that started there, I've been chatting blinded. I suppose the significant thing for me about my own story is not so much the chat and blinded itself, but the fact that I bounced back so well. And the reason why I bounced back from losing my sight in such a traumatic way was down to the support that I received from my family, from the local community, from my friends, my teachers, you know, and the opportunities that were made available to me even as a blind person. I was able to go back to school, get an education for myself and make a lie for myself. And I suppose in my young adult years, I began to realize there were children in other parts of world that might have had their eyesight, but weren't as lucky as me. So I decided that, you know, I would use my experience of my voice and my ability to speak out to help other children, as I say, that weren't as lucky as me. So I launched Children in Crossfire. And today, Children in Crossfire work in Tanzania and Ethiopia. We work with some of the most vulnerable children in the world. I have just come back from Ethiopia. I arrived home on Saturday there. I was in Ethiopia last week, visiting the projects. And, you know, when you go and visit the projects like I have last week, it's both a sad, a very sad and a very uplifting experience. It's sad, we think, that children, in this world today, are living without access to food and without access to clean water. And children suffer from all sorts of waterborne diseases that you would imagine from having to drink dirty water. I went to St. Luke's Hospital, which is down in the Willissa area, down in the region where the Lillies of the Lock will be funding at least two wells there. And at St. Luke's Hospital, it oversees the implementation of the installation of those wells. And, you know, about two years ago, three years ago, we funded what they call a deep well out there. And that's much more expensive. You have shallow wells in the end of deep wells. The deep well cost us nearly £50,000 a day at St. Luke's. But that provided water for the whole hospital all year round. So if you can imagine, there was a hospital out there at St. Luke's. And I remember one day, when there was no water at the hospital, especially during the dry season. So now, because of the money that's raised, then the hospital has water all year round. So there's villages all over that area that don't have any water, where children don't have access to any water. And what I think what Seana and the Lillies are doing is incredible because they're going to provide wells that will provide access to clean water for children and communities that will be there forever. And you know, when you think, say, Seana today, you or your colleagues down there or anybody listening to the station, will go out today and they'll buy a bottle of water, that'll probably cost £2, they'll buy a bottle of water, and you drink it and it's great for us all to do that. Or if you don't want to even go and switch on the water top of the kitchen and leave all the water you want. But that's just foreign. Be hundreds of thousands of people in time to do anything you'll get. And you only do that's incredible. Now, if you install a well for the cost of 10 or 14,000 euros, so whatever it might turn out to be. And because we're not deaf and about the price because of the cost 11 impact is great out there as well. Well, you know, when you divide that up among a thousand people or 2,000 people, it's pretty little. And not only that, it's for the rest of their lives. It's not just a bottle of water, it's water every day, all day, for the rest of their lives. So it is completely not really life changing. So that's what children crossfire also, you know, provide access to free primary education, we train teachers, we build classrooms, we provide classroom resources, and then of course we have our new nutrition programs and our feeding programs as well. Well, I mean, I was gonna say there, you have a real focus on sustainable development and a big part of that is early education. But in order to, you know, in order to do that, then the basics have to be provided for. And in this case, it's water, something that we take for granted here, but is the, you know, deprived to millions of people. That's right. And, you know, you've had the nail in the head really because we can provide good classrooms, which we're doing. We can train the teachers, which we're also doing, and provide the classroom resources. But you know yourself, it's very hard for a child to learn. If that child is feeling ill or suffering diarrhea, vomiting and all that sort of stuff, you know, I'm gonna be totally honest with you. When I was there last week, I picked up something on the way home before I left. And I had a horrendous journey home on the Friday because of the stomach issues I had. Now, looking at that detail, I'm feeling better today. But like I couldn't help thinking, I have medicine, I have a warm bed, a home day, I have, you know, all sorts of comforts and treatments that'll make me better. And these children in these communities are a business every day of their lives. And they have the, how can a child learn in a classroom? If that child is starving with hunger, how can a child learn in a classroom? If that child suffered from diarrhea and vomiting, if their bodies are already weak, you know, on top of the fact that they may be surviving one meal a day if they're lucky. So that whole combined set of issues is something that we try to tackle. So when we train a teacher or provide classrooms and all that, we have to look at those wider issues. And we couldn't do any of it without the support of people like Lollies of the Lock who, you know, are going to sail around the whole of Ireland. I mean, I was out in the boat with Shauna a couple of weeks ago, just to get a feel for what it was like. I can serve myself to a qualified sailor. I was out, I was even steering the boat, Shauna. But I mean, you know, I was out in a reasonably mild day and I see what's involved in this. It's a lot of hard work. It's a lot of discipline and it's people giving up their time. Like Shauna works for Children Crossfire, but she's not doing this as part of her Children Crossfire job. She's doing it on her holiday. You know, so it's brilliant. They see that sort of commitment, you know, from everybody. So it does make a massive difference. And you're right, wherever possible, we try to find a sustainable approach so that we leave something that it's going to be there a long time. Yeah, absolutely. Very important. Shauna, you're hoping to head off on Saturday, week Saturday, the 8th, and there'll be a mixture of sort of experienced or not that experienced people on board. How many of a crew? So at all times, we'll have five people on board. So there's four crew and then every time we stop as we go round Ireland, there'll be a crew change for the fifth person. So that just meant that we were able to get more women involved. So we actually have Gears joining us from Dublin, from Cork, and possibly Galway and we have a gear from Belfast. So it's really good. We have a whole Ireland kind of approach and we just found, since we started, we started on Instagram page and the amount of women that we've engaged with around Ireland who love sailing, but they're maybe the one gear, you know, at the next time or whatever, we find it's been a brilliant community. So as we go round, we're going to meet up as many people as we can, you know, so we're really excited about that. Great. And you're going to be calling in different places. You're leaving from Fawn and you're going to be docking then along the way. Bangor, Hoth, Dunmore East, Conceal, Port McGee, the Arn Islands, Clare Island and Telen before then, eventually coming back round and it's going to take how long in total? So that is the plan. Obviously it might change what weather and things like that or, you know, if things are good, we might just keep her lift and keep going for a few days. But in total, we're planning for it to take 15 days. So that's it. We'll see how it goes. It might take less, it might take more. We have to just try and be flexible and you go with the wind, you know. Yeah, or against the wind, as the case may be. Or against the wind, as the case may be. And how can people get involved? Where can they find out if they want to check your progress or how could they, you know, how could they contribute to it? Yeah, so if people want to follow our journey, they can follow us on Instagram and Facebook at LiliesOnTheLuck or if you also follow Children in Crossfire, we are going to take over the Instagram account for the two weeks of the sale to make that collaboration, you know, really good. And, you know, they can sponsor us and free just given. So that's how you can follow. Or if we have anybody out there who checks marine traffic, that is where you'll see the actual boat traveling around Ireland. The name of the boat is called Moana Voyager. So if there's anybody that follows marine traffic, you'll be able to actually see us live sailing around Ireland at all times. Moana is on the Disney character. Yes, because she is a female sailor, you see the one, so. Yeah, okay. Get it now, get it now. All right, well, listen, the best luck to you and all the crew and hope it all goes brilliantly for you. And yet you have a great time and complete the journey. That's the important thing, I suppose. And that everybody stays safe. Saturday the 8th of July, you're going to be heading off from Fawn. And thanks to both of you for having to chat with us on the show. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
