My story

Hi, my name is Paul Hardaker, in May 2011 I plan on sailing around Great Britain single handed with an African Grey parrot to raise money for the Crohns and Colitis UK charity.

I have been diagnosed with Crohns for about ten years now and I consider myself to be one of the lucky ones , as up until now I have had only a few stays in hospital due to 'flare ups'.

There are many a child / adult suffering horrendously with this disease, it is still a very grey area and hopefully any monies that I can raise will be put to good use.

I am updating my blog at www.zuma-paul.blogspot.com, feel free to follow, as the trip will be a lot easier with all the support.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
