Our personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

As some of you are aware, I am going to be rowing 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in a wooden rowing boat. I will be setting off from La Gomera in the Canary Islands in December 2008 (weather permitting) and heading for English Harbour, Antigua.

I am doing this to try and raise funds for the charity RAFT. Using plastic surgery, RAFT help restore the lives of people who have been disfigured.

As a London firefighter, I have seen first hand the devastation caused to people's lives due to fire. The material things we all hold so dear are easily replaced but the injuries suffered are more devastating, painful and debilitating. Often these injuries are highly visible and the scarring and pain can last a lifetime. Unfortunately, it is very often children that suffer the most horrific injuries and have to travel the longest path to recovery. So please give generously, the money you donate can change lives.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RAFT will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.

Aldo Diana
