Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for the Sailors' Society. I'll be running in the 2009 London Marathon on April 26th with the society as my sponsor. I've seen firsthand the hardships that Filipino crews have to endure in order to give their families a shot at a decent life, nine month trips with minimum leave is something that I could never imagine. The Sailors' Society attempt to make these trips more tolerable, so please, I ask you to sponsor me for this very worthy cause.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Sailors’ Society 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.

So please sponsor me now!
