After a considerable period of nurture, I've decided that "the better part of me" has to go.  The whiskers have been with me through thick and thin for a while now and I've become very attached to them so I couldn't just see them washed down the plughole.

Those of you that know me will know that I'm a keen Diver, though not as active as I might like.  Fortunately, I've never had need of the Lifeboat service, but the plentiful wrecks around our coast that I and other divers enjoy are testament to the dangers of our Weather and Waters. Without the bravery and commitment of the crews of the Lifeboats there would be many many more poor souls lost.

Please, if you can find it in you to make a donation I can be assured that my beard and whiskers have been sacrificed in a good cause.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution 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 please sponsor me now!  The closing date at the top right was added automatically by Just Giving, I intend to lose the fuzz before that date.

Many thanks for your support.
