Story

Hello everyone, I have decided to take on the surstromming challenge to raise funds for the Merlin Centre in Cornwall in memory of my late wife Kerry, who bravely battled multiple sclerosis for many years and was cared for by the incredible staff at the centre. The surstromming challenge involves eating surstromming, a traditional Swedish delicacy of fermented herring. Surstromming is notorious for its strong and pungent smell, often described as one of the worst-smelling foods in the world. The fermentation process creates a potent odor that can be incredibly challenging to stomach. By participating in this challenging task, I aim to raise awareness and funds for the Merlin Centre, which provides essential support for individuals with MS and other neurological conditions. Your donations will help continue the vital work of this charity and honor the memory of my beloved wife Kerry. Thank you for your support.
