31 Miles for Nature

Help me reach my goal of £150

I’m moving 31 Miles for Nature to raise £150 for Greenpeace - can you sponsor me?


Our favourite places in nature are under threat from climate change, habitat loss and pollution. We need to act now to save them. That's why I've decided to move 31 Miles for Nature this October and raise £150 for Greenpeace.

With a fifty year history of defending nature, Greenpeace's mission is to create a greener, healthier, and more peaceful planet. Any donation you make could help power their campaigns to keep our oceans healthy, our forests standing, and fossil fuels in the ground.

Greenpeace never accepts money from companies or governments, so they depend on supporters, like us, to fund all of their campaigns.

Please sponsor me today and help me reach my £150 goal. Thank you!

forty Years on

Tuesday 22nd Jul
 I first came across Greenpeace all those years ago when I had been around the sun about twenty times. I don't recall what was my first encounter, and item on the news about nuclear testing or maybe an item about the sabotage of Rainbow Warrior by dark forces. I brought the tee shirt, read all the literature I could lay my hands on and, childishly, imagined myself as a Greenpeace activist. For example. whenever I went swimming I was with the whales or secretly filming unscrupulous a anti environmental activity somewhere.
I went on my first sort of action, a demonstration outside the French Embassy in London and later, between fundraising in the street went on a mission to  protest in France , at one stage seizing a bridge over the Seine. As my job would take a very dim view of being arrested and charged with anything, I shamefully took a lower profile but always kept abreast of what was going on in the fight against what was wrong with the way we are treating our planet.
Having kept up my members and contributing to many appeals, I always wished that somehow or other I would really get engaged in a hands on way( volunteer deck hand would be good) but was never approached and I never asked, sadly. Now, something like forty years later, free of work commitments, I can start to make a difference by doing this challenge. I'll try to keep you informed of my progress...
