My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Rainbow Trust Children's Charity 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.

So why am I asking you to sponsor me?

 I am going to attempt to kayak across the Irish Sea hopefully on a calm day in June. The distance is roughly 60-70 miles and will take 16+ hours. I will be kayaking with a very good friend James aka 'Moose'. Rainbow Trust is such a worthy charity which I am proud to raise money for. Please give as much as you can and as often as you can as I am aiming to raise £2750 or more! A big big thank you for your support.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Please visit my blog for updates on training, piccies and the event itself!
