Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Being a die-hard scuba diver I am not one to miss an opportunity to get in the water, so I have decided to take the plunge and will be taking part in a sponsored shark dive at the Blue Planet Aquarium, Ellesmere Port on 20th September.
This all came about following a conversation with a dive buddy, who is also taking part in the event. He has a relative with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and is not expected to live past his early 20s due to this incurable genetic condition.
So having found out a little more about MD, I decided in my wisdom that it would be a good idea to take part too.
The dive will include swimming with Sand Tiger sharks, Lemon sharks, Nurse sharks, Wobbegongs (Carpet sharks), Bamboo sharks and Southern Stingrays. The biggest is a 3 metre long, 150kg Sand Tiger!!!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me. Muscular Dystrophy Campaign gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure that 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, is added to your donation.
So please sponsor me for this worthy cause and thanks very much.
