Under four weeks to go now !!

On Sunday October 18th we are taking on the Great South Run - a 10 mile course around Portsmouth - to raise crucial funds for Hampshire Search and Rescue ( HANTSAR).

Who are the runners ?

Sheena recently completed the Serpentine Swim raising over £750 for Hantsar - this completed the triple crown of swim , run ( London Marathon ) and bike ( 100 miles around London ). She hopes to become operational in the Hantsar team in 2027.

Dave has raised a lot of money in the past for different charities and has been impressed by Hantsar's professional approach despite all being volunteers.

Mark joined Hantsar in 2019 and is a regular member of the team on searches , training and fundraising. He will also be the slowest !!

Why HANTSAR?

HANTSAR is a team of highly trained volunteers available 24/7 , 365 days a year. We are called out by the police to search for high risk and vulnerable missing people across Hampshire- including children , elderly individuals with dementia and people in crisis.

What many people don't realise is that HANTSAR receives no funding and rely 100% on public donations to maintain search equipment , response vehicles and specialized technology like drones and medical kit . The volunteers even fund their own travel to callouts

Every single pound gives this team the resources they need to bring loved ones home safely .

thank you for your support

Sheena Skidmore , Dave Carter and Mark Barnes
