So, this is it. We made it to the finish line and our World Tour for Sharks is officially over.
Complete. Done.
How is it possible that we even made it to this point? Mostly in one piece I would like to add; with just two hospital visits, two broken laptops, two broken cameras, four back injury […]
The staff and volunteers at Projects Abroad undertake valuable community-based conservation work and we have really enjoyed our time participating in this aspect of the Fiji project. It has been such a pleasure to enjoy the company of the volunteers, staff and local Fijians – who are very warm and welcoming.
We visited a local school […]
We have really enjoyed our two weeks in Melbourne, Australia and had two fantastic events; one with Melbourne’s SEA LIFE aquarium and one at Kunyung School in Mount Eliza. The school event was a particularly special one for us, as it had been organised by my niece Amelie Hodgson and she is a HUGE shark […]
Our second week in Auckland focused on our school events and we enjoyed spending time with the students of Somerville, Silverdale and Bailey Road schools. It is always a pleasure to share our knowledge of sharks with children and the students at each of those schools were welcoming, attentive and interactive. We also enjoyed our […]
After feeling rejuvenated by our afternoon in the Spa, Kathryn and I enjoyed a few days exploring local geothermal areas and catching up with office work before our final Rotorua event with Forest and Bird. We always enjoy our F&B events and with the friendliness we’d encountered thus far in Rotorua we had high expectations […]

Every story needs a dramatic start and that particular cliché seems appropriate when on New Year’s Day 2015 Friends for Sharks stepped out to make good on the promise of the previous 2 months of fundraising. At midday Nicholas was due to swim for as long/far as possible […]
We have been away from our desks recently visiting family/friends and collecting some of our fundraising raffle prizes from local businesses in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. We are very grateful to the businesses that are supporting our cause and it was a pleasure to meet and thank each business in person. We are back in Cornwall for […]
So what are you up to Nicholas?
I ‘m doing a sponsored swim for sharks but it’s not your usual type of swim…
Okay. So why is your swim any different to others?
I’ll be swimming in shorts, a rash vest and diving hood
Why is that unusual?
I will be swimming on New Year’s day……in Padstow Harbour, England.
Oh. I […]
It has been a fantastic week at HQ and we have been working behind the scenes on fundraising and events all week. We have been arranging talks in Vancouver and the Cook Islands and have been delighted with people’s interest in our cause. Thank you to the people of Vancouver and Rarotonga for being so […]
