Update: March 4th

I am delighted to say that the orphanage that I have supporting will be closing as the majority of children have now been placed with their wider families and the few remaining are being incorporated into the Romanian care system. Now that my work is done for Children on the Edge, I will be returning to raise money for St Wilfrid's Hospice which does such a wonderful job in looking after the local Chichester community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those of you who have so generously contributed to the Ukrainian fund over the past two years. Hope to see you on the St Wilfrid's site now that my page is up and running. - Mick

Fundraising for Children on the Edge:

Since starting my adventures in Tintanic I have now covered 450 miles and raised over £86,000 for a couple of charities.

This will be my 5th and final year of fundraising.I will be continuing to work with Children on the Edge who are a young, enthusiastic and caring organisation, raising money for deprived and down trodden children all over the world who through no fault of their own, have been born into a desperate and cruel world of grinding poverty. This includes orphaned Ukrainian children whose home was bombed in Kyiv.

I hope during the coming season to row the length of the Isle of Wight, providing I can find a kindred spirit to escort me... this event will be preceded by a launch in the Spring by a well known celebrity. During the Summer I will also be rowing Titanic in Chichester harbour and nearby rivers.

Thank you for your ongoing and generous support!
