Come along to see Mike Perham
Record-breaking round-the-world sailor Mike Perham will be appearing at Stafford College at 2pm on Friday 22 January in a special event hosted by our Sports, Outdoor Adventure and Public Services courses.
• Find out how Mike became the youngest person to sail solo round the world.
• See some exclusive footage from his record-breaking voyage.
• Take part in a Q&A session with Mike.
Teenager Mike Perham became the youngest person to sail solo round the world when he arrived back in UK waters on 27 August 2009. Mike's 30,000 mile voyage began in November 2008 and saw him battling 50ft waves, gale-force winds and several technical setbacks as well as celebrating his seventeenth birthday alone on the Indian Ocean.
As he crossed the finishing line, Mike said: "I've made it, I've made my dream come true and it feels amazing!" His father Peter said that Mike had "Shown that with determination, you can succeed even in the most adverse circumstances.”
Stafford College is delighted that Mike has agreed to speak about what inspired him to live his dream. Whatever your own dream, you won't want to miss this very special opportunity.
