I am raising funds to support a fantastic organisation that are helping to clean up our mess until such time as we find alternatives to single-use plastics, and stop dumping stuff in rivers and oceans!

 Welcome to my page!  

on 8th September I'll be running a half marathon in Newcastle (22KM) to raise money for a fantastic charity; The Ocean Cleanup.
I set up the fundraiser because I find it important to support organizations like The Ocean Cleanup, to get a cleaner and healthier ocean for all! The Ocean Cleanup’s mission is to remove 90% of floating ocean plastic by 2040. Please visit their website to take a look at the fantastic work they do;
 https://theoceancleanup.com

Whatever you are able to spare will be gratefully received, and will make a big impact on the quality of life for the inhabitants of our oceans.

Thank you in advance for your generosity; it means a lot! 
Richard

Job Done !

Monday 9th Sep
well, with a few setbacks like tendonitis of the Achilles heal and no training for the last 4 weeks, I managed to complete the 1/2 marathon yesterday in a time of two hours 14 minutes, which was respectable given the limited training. Thanks again for your sponsorship. 

Thank you to my Sponsors

Hi Richard, love this org and that you helped bring them into Shell - thank you! Good luck with the run and here's hoping you don't see too much single use plastic along the beautiful countryside as you do it! Fiona
