Lee's Stand-Up Jet Ski
Round Britain Challenge May 2026
ALZHEIMER’S & MS
CHARITIES
In 1990, Lee Robinson and his lifelong friend John Duncan made history with the first return jet ski crossing of the English Channel, raising vital funds for Cancer Research.
Now, in May 2026, Lee is preparing for his most ambitious challenge yet, a full circumnavigation of Britain on a stand-up jet ski, while John supports him from the land crew.
This epic journey isn’t just about adventure. It’s about raising awareness and life-changing funds in aid of Alzheimer’s and Multiple Sclerosis, two causes deeply personal to them both. Lee’s mum passed away with Alzheimer’s, and John is bravely living with MS.
Join Lee on this remarkable mission, follow his progress, and be part of the story.
