The first charity was clear in my mind, an obvious one, the RNLI
The second was inspired by a brave man (Nigel and being supported by Richard) who started his circumnavigation of the UK two weeks ago - but in a kayak! He is raising money for BLESMA (the British Limless Ex ServiceMans Association), having himself lost his left leg in a parachuting accident ten years ago. Maybe the MOD should be supporting these men better themselves, but in the circumstances I am keen to give support.
The marine conservation society released a small acticle in the 'All At Sea' newpaper, highlighting its endeavours and promoting sponsored 'coastal challenge' events. As this trip fitted the bill perfectly and the cause is a good one the MCS is the third charity of choice.
