I am taking on the 2024 5K Across The Bay event for Cornwall Wildlife Trust, which was originally scheduled for the13 July, but is now taking place on 8th September. By splashing across maerl beds and seagrass meadows, I will be helping to preserve their future by raising funds for the Ocean Emergency Fund, while also ensuring that Cornwall's unique marine life can be preserved for future generations.

Here is how your donations could help the future of Cornwall's marine life:

*£10 could purchase 10 hessian bags to securely plant seagrass seedlings to restore seagrass meadows.

*£20 could allow us to sample and test 10 water quality samples, helping to inform the secure of the future of these habitats.

*£50 could pay for a specialist talk to boat owners, empowering them to make alternatives to anchoring on seagrass beds.

*£100 could pay for one snorkel survey to assess impacts and monitor our seagrass beds.

I have never swum 5k before and so to swim across Falmouth Bay, from Rosemullion Head to Pendennis Point is going to be a significant challenge but I know that it will be worth it.

Thank you for reading and donating
