The inspiring people featured on this page have taken the plunge and successfully organised some fantastic fundraising events for MCS. We would like to take the opportunity to thank these and all of our volunteer fundraisers for their great work and continued enthusiasm. Their help raising money and increasing awareness has enabled MCS to take positive action to protect our precious seas, shores and wildlife from the immediate threats they face.

MCS Champions!

MCS supporter, Sean Morley, was the inspiration for our Coastal Challenge campaign, which aims to match the distance around our UK coastline each year. In 2004, he became the first person to have kayaked solo around the whole of the British Isles and through this amazing challenge raised over £4,000 for MCS.

 
Beachwatch organiser Mary Douglas got her whole local community involved in our Coastal Challenge campaign. Her enthusiasm inspired others to support our work to care for our seas, shores and wildlife. Together Mary and her friends covered 2,083 km (1,294 miles) and raised £517.65.
