Dartmoor Midnight Walk · 21 July 2012 to 22 July 2012 ·

The Fishermen's Mission is the only national charity working solely to support active and retired fishermen and their families by providing practical, financial and pastoral support. Fishing is dangerous and unpredictable. Hardship and tragedy are facts of everyday life in the UK’s fishing industry.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am pleased to announce that we will be entering a team into the Fisherman’s Mission Midnight Challenge Walk on the 21st July 2012 (Saturday).

This circular walk starts at 9pm on Saturday 21st July from Princetown Primary School on Dartmoor, taking us across open moorland with only the moonlight and a torch to light the way. The walk will take approx 4-5 hours (13 miles) and will be supervised by Plymouth Dartmoor Search & Rescue.

The event has been organised by the Fisherman's Mission to raise awareness and funds for fisherman and their families. Deep sea fishing is the UK's most dangerous peacetime occupation and on average each year 15 vessels are lost and 62 fishermen are killed or seriously injured. The Mission provides emergency and welfare support to fishermen and their families 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They receive no government or Lottery funding and rely almost entirely upon voluntary contributions to fund their activities.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
