Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>On 22 May 2011 I'll be joining the Wirral Coastal Walk to help raise money for Merseyside's seafarers in need.&nbsp; The Shipwrecked Mariners' Society supports impoverished seafarers&nbsp;and their families living around Merseyside.&nbsp; Many retired seafarers have worked in the maritime industry for 40 or 50 years, often in very dangerous conditions, and do not enjoy the quality of life in retirement that they deserve for their efforts on behalf of the country.&nbsp; The charity has been supporting the seafaring community for more than 172 years.&nbsp; The 15 mile walk, organised by the Rotary Club of North Wirral, starts out at Seacome Ferry and finishes at Thurstaston.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>Click on the link below to see the article which&nbsp;appeared in the Wirral News about the&nbsp;Shipwrecked Mariners Society.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.wirralnews.co.uk/wirral-news/local-wirral-news/2011/03/23/join-wirral-coastal-ramble-to-help-our-heroes-of-the-sea-80491-28381046/">http://www.wirralnews.co.uk/wirral-news/local-wirral-news/2011/03/23/join-wirral-coastal-ramble-to-help-our-heroes-of-the-sea-80491-28381046/</a></p>
