JIM PORTUS is raising money for The Fishermen's Mission
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

The Fishermen's Mission is the only national charity working solely to support active and retired fishermen and their families by providing practical, financial and pastoral support. Fishing is dangerous and unpredictable. Hardship and tragedy are facts of everyday life in the UK’s fishing industry.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

A million thanks to all of you who have supported the Mission by donating online or by post direct to me. You have each helped swell the Mission's much-needed funds by well over £2,500. Thank you.

My daughter, Jo and I got round the marathon in hot sweaty conditions in 5 hours 15 minutes. Not record-breaking, but considering all things we were so pleased to do it and felt great at the finish. We both are grateful to the amazing crowd of well-wishers and specially thank Ben for making the trip to wave us on, Dougy for his help and support and Margaret who has been inspirational always.

It's not too late to donate, so don't be shy if you meant to give earlier, but forgot. The Mission won't mind and I'll forgive you!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Royal National Mission To Deep Sea Fishermen gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

If you know me, then you know I'm passionate about fish and I'm even more passionate about the welfare of fisherfolk throughout the UK. Please help me to help this most important of fishing community charities.

So please sponsor me now!

Thank you.
