I will set off from Swanpool, Falmouth and attempt to circumnavigate 2500 miles of British coastline. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 1.3em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; color: #73645d; line-height: 1.4; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">This has been an ambition of mine for a number of years now and I am relishing the opportunity of an unforgettable journey and the chance push my limits of endurance.</p>

Whilst out there I am frequently sadenned by the amount of litter the ends up in the water and on the beaches.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 1.3em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; color: #73645d; line-height: 1.4; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">In light of this I have decided to make my journey a 2500 mile litterpick. I pledge to take 3 pieces of litter out of the sea everyday of my trip. So, if you have got this far and are still deciding whether or not to help me reach my fundraising target, then consider it payment for a service. Not only will the cash go to a great charity who are part of the solution, but I will personally take about 240 pieces of litter out of our seas and off of our beaches. 2 for the price of 1. </p>
