Royal National Mission To Deep Sea Fishermen - Dartmoor Midnight Madness · 17 July 2010 ·

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

So I fancied a challenge..

I was going to do a Half Marathon, but that seemed a little easy. So instead I chose the "Midnight Madness: on the 17th July I shall be trekking 14 miles across Dartmoor in the middle of the night, armed only with a pair of walking boots and a torch!

I'm doing this to raise money for the Fishermen's Mission, a charity that provides emergency welfare and support to Deep sea fishermen and their families. Deep sea fishing is the UK's most dangerous peacetime occupation, with an average 68 fishermen killed or seriously injured every year just doing their jobs. The RNMDSF provides support for sick, distressed, disabled, retired and seagoing fishermen, their families, and unfortunately all too often their widows.

Please give whatever you can afford to spare to help this charity, and I'll try not to fall down a gorge!
