Although this event sounds fun, it will certainly be a challenge for me, but keep in mind its nothing compared to the many sustained challenges that our seafarers face on a daily basis. Most of us don't realize how much we rely on our seafarers who operate ships that carry containers and commodities all over the world. The fact is that our seafarers rely on us too - our donations help Sailors' Society to provide purposeful support whenever, wherever and however needed.

The Sailors’ Society exists to enhance and enrich merchant seafarers' lives across the world and improve the quality of their well-being. Your generous support will help us to replace isolation with belonging and enable us to continue to assist seafarers and their families in need. Thank you!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. 100% of donations goes straight to the charity (Sailors' Society)! So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity. 

Regarding training, I'm doing everything I can in the limited free time that I have to prepare for this physical challenge by doing practice hikes, stairclimbs at home and at the office, participate in a few 10km quarter marathons, cycles and much more...

The trip to Tanzania itself, the equipment needed, the insurance etc is self-provided/funded.
