Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

During this Covid-19 Pandemic Seafarers continue their duties keeping the world supplied with food, fuel, medical equipment and other vital supplies. They are having to stay longer on board, are having no shore leave in port, working 7 days a week, are away from their families and yet they still carry on with their duties. 

There is a perfect storm of an increase in demand for the work of the Mission to Seafarers but a drop in funding as normal fundraising events are cancelled or postponed. 

I have recommissioned my old treadmill in the garage and am going to run a half marathon on Saturday 16th May 2020 to help raise money for this amazing charity. It will be part of the Global Champions Unite campaign to raise £60k in 90 days to support seafarers and keep the supply lines running and our supermarkets stocked.

Please do help if you can. The amazing #HeroesAtSeaSHoutout showed the world what our seafarers do and your support for the Mission to Seafaers or any other of the welfare charities is much appreciated.

Founded in 1856, and entirely funded by voluntary donations, today’s Mission to Seafarers offers emergency assistance, practical support, and a friendly welcome to crews visiting over 200 ports in 50 countries around the world. Whether caring for victims of piracy or providing a lifeline to those stranded in foreign ports, we are there for the globe’s 1.5 million merchant seafarers of all ranks, nationalities and beliefs. To find out how we help those facing shipwreck, abandonment, loneliness and danger, visit their website: www.missiontoseafarers.org
