Irene Robinson started in New York City’s, Radio City Music Hall, and will travel across the globe, visiting Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Johannesburg and even Antartica, while finishing on HMS Belfast in London on the 27 February.
Irene, who funded the trip herself, hopes to raise the money for the Royal Navy, Royal Marines Charity and Julia’s House.
Julia’s House is the only children’s hospice charity in Dorset that helps children with life-threatening illnesses.
