Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be training over the next few months to get to a level of fitness required to run a marathon. Why?  As a man who loves his family dearly, I cannot imagine being separated from them for up to 6 months at a time, in dangerous seas with no communication.  By helping to raise funds, I am helping the Mission to Seafarers Scotland care for seafarers in Scottish ports, helping them communicate with their families back home and providing emergency welfare services to hospitalised or abandoned seafarers.  Many seafarers risk their lives to provide us with 90% of everything we own, this is my way of saying thankyou.
