I'll be whisked away from the Portishead Marina by boat and then jump into the water ready for my life saving experience.  A Newfoundland dog will then be released to rescue me holding onto my life jacket and swimming me back to safety.

A typical bodyweight of a Newfoundland dog is around 75-90 kilos, with a double waterproof coat and a full set of webbed feet, these gentle giants are as much at home in the water as they are on dry land and their life saving skills have been commended by The Royal Life Saving Society.  
I am doing this because my Mum lives with MS, she is a member and a Trustee of this great Centre!
