Raising donations for a marine conservation charity and generating awareness of the plight of the oceans by sailing across the Atlantic.

International

This December I will be embarking on an adventure of a lifetime, to sail across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to the Caribbean in a modestly sized 13 meter sailboat. In doing this with a crew of 3 other Kiwi's, I want to help raise awareness of the terrible plight the oceans of the planet face, from human impact of pollution, over fishing, climate change and the list goes on. I kindly ask for your support by joining me in donating to a highly effective and proactive charity that is all about marine conservation.

Our Seas Our Future (OSOF) is a New Zealand based charity that is actively involved in marine conservation both through direct action initiatives, driving/initiating policy changes through government, helping establish marine reserves and much more. See website: www.osof.org

Thank you for your support.
