Kieran Manning

to spend 24 Hours in a Liferaft

Kieran Manning from the Warsash Maritime Academy is preparing to brave the elements and experience what every sailor hopes they NEVER have to do for real - spend 24 hours in a liferaft.

On Friday 21st March a team of students from Warsash Maritime Academy (part of Southampton Solent University), including Kieran, will clamber into their raft and commence learning at first hand just what it would be like to be cast adrift as their boat sinks behind them. But this challenge is not only a chance to enhance their studies, but a great opportunity to raise funds and awareness for those whose difficult times will last a great deal longer than 24 hours - UK families living with cancer.

Kieran says:

"Hopefully, I will never have to do this in my career but I am willing to put myself into a liferaft for 24 hours to raise money on behalf of Sail 4 Cancer. Personally, I have had a member of family pass away due to cancer and if I can raise money to help those who have been diagnosed with cancer then I cannot see why I shouldn't do it."
