Description
Circumnavigating The Globe - Oceans of Hope- Crewed By MS Patients
Oceans of Hope, a 67 foot racing sailboat crewed by MS patients, is circumnavigating the globe in an effort to change the perceptions of multiple sclerosis by showing what is possible when people with a chronic disease are empowered to conquer their individual challenges.
Oceans of Hope is the dream become reality of Dr. Mikkel Anthonisen, a specialist at Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet, in Denmark. A doctor, psychotherapist and sailor, Mikkel founded the Sailing Sclerosis Foundation and has been working with multiple sclerosis patients since 2010. The Oceans of Hope circumnavigation was born out of the success of the Sailing Sclerosis Foundation’s sailing projects in Denmark, and it was a conversation with an MS patient that sparked the idea.
