<p><span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; color: #000080;">This is no easy feat... the river has currents, wiers, diseases and plenty of stuff to make the volunteers not want to do it.</span></p>
<p><span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; color: #000080;">Godalming to Guildford comes in at around 5 miles which if we do at a good pace it will take us 5 hours! Paddling for 5 hours is not easy, so please give generously :D</span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800080;">SAS was founded in 1990 by a group of surfers who were literally ‘sick of getting sick’ through repeated ear, nose, throat and gastric infections after going in the sea. Forming a local group they set about taking grassroots action to stop the sewage pollution at their local surf breaks in Cornwall and were swiftly joined by like-minded water-users from around the UK.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800080;">SAS has been very effective in delivering the virtual elimination of continuous sewage discharges that were so prevalent when we started back in 1990. This has seen water quality improve greatly in many areas, and helped us all have a cleaner, safer experience in the sea all around the UK.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800080;">SAS has today evolved into a broader environmental charity tackling the multitude of threats facing our oceans and coastlines, from marine litter to coastal development. </span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #800080;">In many cases, such as marine litter, climate change, offshore development, toxic chemicals and shipping there is even more to be done than when SAS began. UK water companies still use combined sewer overflows as a means to regularly discharge raw sewage into our rivers and onto our beaches so the sewage issues still exists, albeit in a slightly different guise.</span></p>
