Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Amy and I have decided that we need to get fit and lose some weight and to make it more worthwhile and to help encourage us to stick to our plan I have created this page. 

Any donations received will help protect the earth's most important ecosystem. The oceans of the world are currently under threat from climate change, overfishing and pollution. Sharks and Coral are two of the most important parts of the seas, Coral removes waste material and produces oxygen and Sharks control fish population, which in turn protects vital, oxygen producing Phytoplankton which creates a significant proportion of the oxygen we breathe. 

Even if it is the odd £1 here or there it all helps and every penny will go to the charity. 

I started at 18st10lbs and am currently 17st6lbs after 5 weeks. I am aiming to get down to 14st7lbs. 

Amy started at 18st6lbs and is currently 17st9lbs, she is aiming for 11-12st. 

We would appreciate your support and donations to the charity and my aim is to get fit enough to swim 2.5Km and pass my Advanced Open Water diving certificate. 

About the charity

The SCCT is dedicated to spreading awareness to the general public of the impacts of oceanic acidification (reducing the calcification processes) and excessive shark depletion. Both are currently having impacts on a global basis in commercial, social, industrial,cultural and political fields.
