Team Scimitar, consisting of Sarah, Lucy, Barny and Sheren, have today all completed their first sprint triathlon. None of them have done anything like this before and they have trained for months.
They are raising funds for BLESMA, the British Limbless Ex-Servicemen's Association. Hopefully, with the money raised, the lovely people at OThree will be able to make some adapted drysuits to make diving with prosthetic limbs a bit easier in the chilly UK waters.
This is a charity close to both Smudge and Sarah's hearts. BLESMA divers came to Portland last year and had a great time on Scimitar. We are looking forward to their return this season.

Here's a few photos of the gallant triathletes - all of them bust a gut today!!

Now the tricky bit. We are trying to squeeze the last few quid out anyone kind enough to donate so we can get the total up to £1000. Please, please just donate £1 and that will make a difference and boost our total
Let's get the BLESMA guys diving :)
