INGRID ROBERTSON - Trustee
Ingrid was diagnosed with MS in 1999 and found her love for sailing thanks to Oceans of Hope, a sailing challenge for people with MS. After a life-changing sail in Auckland in 2016, she joined a flotilla in Croatia and now organises adventures in the Southern Hemisphere. She’s also the Kaituitui for Disabled Persons Assembly Canterbury and a big fan of Sailability Canterbury, where she gets to share the freedom and excitement of being out on the water.
