Story
As a family we love our fish & seafood and appreciate the hardships and dangers fishermen face in getting fish to our plate. My daughter and I have decided to dust the cobwebs off our dancing shoes, get some exercise and dance for 30 mins per day for 2 weeks, that's 20 miles worth of dance steps. Yes I know it's not record breaking but we hope to give you all a laugh along the way, entertain and show you just how unfit we are! In the Newlyn to Lerwick challenge I'm pledging 20 miles to help the Fishermen's Mission reach their 900 mile goal because:The current Coronavirus has had a significant impact on many professions, including the fishing industry. Fishing is already one of the most dangerous and precarious professions, with many pre-existing challenges that are only exacerbated by this health crisis. The Fishermens Mission provides a lifeline for struggling fishermen and is the only national charity that works solely to help fishermen and their families. A contribution of as little as £1 could help chip into a weekly shop for a struggling family. At a time when we are unable to host physical fundraising events, it is digital fundraisers such as this that will help us help our fisherfolk through struggles, bereavement and ensure their physical and mental well-being. So please support my fundraising page, and the work that the Fishermen's Mission does!
