Hello,

I am very excited to let you know that I will be joining an upcoming Mission to Seafarers adventure race in Izu, Japan between May 19^th and 20^th, 2023.

The race is partnered with the Mission to Seafarers (MTS) and is designed to raise both awareness of the challenges faced by Seafarers, but also offers financial support that can be practically administered by the MTS charity group.  It will provide an opportunity for the global shipping industry to support the men and women who work at sea internationally.

What is Mission to Seafarers (MTS) ?

The Mission to Seafarers is a Christian welfare charity serving merchant crews around the world.  It operates through a global network of chaplins, staff and volunteers and provides practical, emotional and spiritual support through ship visits, drop-in seafarers centres and a range of welfare and emergency support services.  The Mission to Seafarers has operations in over 200 ports around the world.

I am teaming up with my colleagues to form “the Holy Walkamolies” and will take part in the Green Dragon (Hiking) event.

This event will comprise of two days of intense trail hiking with significant changes in altitude.

Day One is 9.6 kms with 899.6 m gain in elevation.

Day Two is 6.8 kms with 507.1 m gain in elevation.             

Our goal is to raise USD $2,500 as a team for this event!  We would very much appreciate any contribution (big or small) towards this target.

Please note that the full proceeds of your contribution will go to the Mission to Seafarers charity.  All other costs for travel and accommodation for the event have already been covered.
