Seafarers UK

Charity Registration No. England & Wales 226446 and Scotland SC038191

On average, every month, there are 10 major accidents in the fishing industry and two vessels lost; thousands of veterans still need help in their old age, having risked their lives for this country; many ex-seafarers face unemployment and homelessness. Seafarers UK provide vital support for these and many others.

My story

We did it...! The whole team scaled all 24 mountains in less than 24 hours and we met our fundraising target - thank you to everyone who supported us!

Day 1: 05:24 to 19:31 (14 hours, 7 minutes) 18 miles, 10 mountains, 11,000 feet of ascent / descent

Day 2: 04:58 to 14:27 (9 hours, 29 minutes) 17 miles, 14 mountains, 9,000 feet of ascent / descent

Total time: 23 hours and 36 minutes - an incredible effort from the whole team!

Best wishes,

Jim, Ben, Bob, Matt, Megan, Rob and "Quartermaster Mary"

On July 18/19th we will be attempting to scale 24 of the Lake District's peaks, all over 2,400 feet high, in what is recognised as one of the toughest charity events in the UK. First and foremost we're hoping to get the whole team round in one piece. But we're also aiming to complete the event in less than 24 hours while raising as much as we can for charity.

The sponsorship money will be donated to Seafarers UK who do a great job supporting veterans from the Royal Navy, Merchant Navy and the Fishing Fleet.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Seafarers UK 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 - it's really appreciated by the whole team...!

Best wishes,

Jim, Ben, Bob, Matt, Megan and Rob
