Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Why am I doing this? ......because I don't "do running" (not since school!) so this was a huge personal challenge to become fit enough to complete a half marathon and raise funds for my chosen charity too.

I live by the sea and love the shoreline, the sea and the sea life. I've seen stranded seals on the beach but never knew what to do? I became involved in a seal rescue one day by chance, the medic 'on-call' gave me information for their training courses,  I enrolled and am now a VOLUNTEER MEDIC myself! 

We are 'on-call' 24/7 365 days/year. We respond to calls for injured/sick/beached/entangled marine mammals from seals to whales, and give advice to the public. My fund raising will help towards training and purchasing equipment - seal bag & cage £180, refloating pontoons £2,500- £4,000, medic kits to give first aid to beached marine mammals, training, life jackets and helmets to ensure the BDMLR medics are safe whilst on a rescue. All this is costly, so your donation, however great or small, will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for sponsoring me, Claire xx.
