Kieron Schofield
to spend 24 Hours in a Liferaft
On Friday 21st March a team of students from Warsash Maritime Academy (part of Southampton Solent University), including Kieron, 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.
Kieron says:
"I am an 18 year old Merchant Navy Cadet from North Wales. Currently studying to become an Engineering Officer for Holland America Line through the Warsash Maritime Academy, I have been given an opportunity to take part in a physically and mentally demanding charity event, sailing in a liferaft for 24 hours. Hopefully I should never have to do this in real life situations, however this is as close as it's going to get to the real thing! Having a close member of family taken away by Cancer, I believe this charity is so important for the patients, their families, and their friends in times of grief. This is why I'm doing my part by volunteering to do something crazy! But for a good cause. Please do your part by sponsoring me!"
