Hi, I'm Damian and I set up 'Help Save Bees' (www.helpsavebees.co.uk) to help raise awareness of the plight of the humble British Bee and to raise money to go towards bee research and conservation - something I believe passionately about.
Our native British Bees are dying out - and with them will go our flora, fauna and one-third of our diet. We may have less than a decade to save them and avert a global food catastrophe.
I've set myself the challenge of taking part in this year's 'Great River Race' (www.greatriverrace.co.uk) on the 17th September - a gruelling 21 mile row along the River Thames from Greenwich to Richmond, competiting against some of the finest crews in the land!
I'd like to raise at least £350.00 that will to go towards the invaluable research and conservation work being carried out by 'The Bumblebee Conservation Trust'.
Many thanks for your help.
Damian Grounds
