Welcome, Friends!

I will be running the Bournemouth Half Marathon on 8 October 2023, and am raising money for the marine conservation charity Project Seagrass.

What is seagrass?

It's a flowering marine plant which grows on the seabed.  Sadly, seagrass meadows across the UK coast are disappearing at an alarming rate.  Project Seagrass is working to reverse this trend, through the cultivation of seagrass meadows in UK coastal areas, and research into restoration.

Why seagrass?

Seagrass is a powerful ally in the race to slow down global heating, by efficiently capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.  It is vital to marine life and biodiversity, by serving as a habitat and nursery for many marine species.  It also helps prevent coastal erosion.

I'd be very grateful if you could help me support this cause <3
