Run-Starve-Swim for Plastic Free Coastlines · 21 July 2017

Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) is a charity set up in 1990 by people sick of seeing the ocean they love polluted. We campaign to protect the ocean and all it makes possible, by taking action on the ground that triggers change from the top. We're calling for an end to sewage and plastic pollution.

Story

'Run-Starve-Swim for Plastic Free Coastlines' is a 3-part challenge I've set myself for this summer to raise money for the brilliant, marine conservation charity Surfers Against Sewage, and to raise awareness of the increasing problem of marine litter and plastic pollution.  The challenge is designed to give me some small idea of how marine wildlife suffers as a result of entanglement in, or ingestion of, marine litter and plastics.

I will attempt to RUN 21 miles of the Exmoor and West Somerset coast (called the 'Seaview17') on 30th July, whilst entangled in various items of marine litter.  Feel free to come and watch/laugh at me.

On 30th August I will attempt to endure 24 hours without any food (which, as anyone who knows me will know, will be seriously tough!).  Unlike many marine creatures I have decided against eating plastic in order to experience what is like to STARVE.

And then on 30th September I will try to SWIM 2 km at the Exmoor Open-Water Swim event at Wimbleball Lake, hopefully with a few items of marine litter attached to me including a plastic bottle stuck on my head! This is further than I've ever swam before.

Any support you can give would be greatly appreciated, just £1 would be brilliant!  If everyone I know donates just £1 I should reach my target easily.
