Paul's Personal Message:
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

As many of you will know already, I am walking alone across Europe this summer, from La Rochelle in France to Prague in the Czech Republic. During the course of this I hope to acquire a better sense of my place in the world, excellent calf muscles, and £2500 for the Marine Conservation Society. The MSC is an amazing organization, for more reasons then it is possible to mention here (check out their webpage - i cannot put the HTML here, but just type their name into Google and it will come up), and the work they do is, in my view, essential to developing a more sustainable relationship with our seas and coastline.

It would greatly warm my belly if you would consider sponsoring me in this undertaking. It doesn't need to be much; as little as £10 will go a long long way towards protecting our coastal ecosystems, cleaning up our beaches, and encouraging more sensible fishing practices. I will be doing somewhere between 1000-1200 miles, so think of it as approximately £1 per 100 miles, or about 5pence per blister! Needless to say, if you want to give more then that is most welcome.

CharityGiving will reclaim gift aid tax on your donation (if you are a UK taxpayer), meaning any donation is worth around 25% more. They also charge less than most other fundraising websites, so more money goes to this great cause!

We all need to be more conscious of just how vital the sea is to our existence. It is not just a resource and playground; it is the foundation of all life on this planet. So please sponsor me, and help to turn the tide.

Have a really good day

Paul is raising money for Marine Conservation Society:
Marine Conservation Society The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) is the UK charity dedicated to caring for our seas, shores and wildlife. MCS campaigns for clean seas and beaches, sustainable fisheries, and protection for all marine life.

We gain so much from the sea - food, energy, well-being, fun - yet it seems it is not getting much from us in return. The time has come for all of us to do what we can to turn the tide.



MCS is working to:

Establish vital marine protected areas where wildlife can recover and flourish.

Clear our coasts and seas of the litter that kills seabirds, dolphins, turtles and other wildlife.

Reduce the overfishing that devastates the life in our seas and make sure that our seafood is sustainable.
