Hi John,

Is June 8th marked in your calendar? If not, it should be. It's World Ocean Day!

It's all about uniting ocean action across the globe and coming together to protect what you love.

Want to get involved? One of the best ways to support our ocean-saving work is to fundraise [[link removed]] for us. And we've had some incredible supporters take on epic challenges to raise funds for our campaigns and communities.

Here are some that really went BIG.✊

Meet Jasmine Harrison: the first woman (and youngest person) to swim the entire length of the UK from Land's End to John O'Groats. Whilst fundraising for Surfers Against Sewage. She swam 900 miles, in 109 days.

Jasmine says: "I was inspired to support SAS, as no-one should have to put up with polluted waters. It impacts our freedom to swim safely in rivers and seas. And it really affects the ecosystem and marine life, which are so beautiful but so fragile."

What a rubbish SUP board. No, really. It's made of 100% rubbish saved from landfill.

In another world-first, fundraiser David Haze @nomadicpaddler [[link removed]] paddled for 5 days around the Isle of Wight on his rubbish SUP, nicknamed 'The Iceberg'. And from his board to his kit, he made sure his paddle was environmentally friendly. So we asked why he took on the challenge, and he said:

"My life has been a complicated one. But the oceans that surround our beautiful island helped me find myself once again, so I feel like I have a duty to do my part to protect our oceans and attempt to encourage others to think about their own habits.

"The work that SAS do is fantastic and it's absolute joy to do whatever I can to help push their message."

The ‘Super Seaton Savers’ kids built a raft out of recycled plastic to enter into the Downderry to Seaton Raft race – and won 'Best Raft' prize! (Well deserved, we say.)

Maya, 10, says: "Our gang 'The Super Seaton Savers' live by the beach and we love our sea. We want to protect the future of our oceans.

"So we built a raft from recycled plastic to enter into the local raft race and started a Just Giving page for sponsorship. It took months of collecting bottles and lots of hard work building our raft. It was also really choppy on race day, but we did it!"

Hopefully, you're inspired and ready to go. But fundraising doesn't always have to be big. If you just want to dip your toe in, here are a few easier ideas...

A sponsored swim. (Or walk. Or cycle.)

Be like 9-year old Daisy, who challenged herself to swim 5,000 meters to raise money for the ocean.

Daisy, you rock 👊

Plastic-free bakes

Who doesn't love cake? And it tastes even better when it's baked for charity.

Try out this fundraising classic. (Just don't skimp on the chocolate chips.)

A clean up challenge

Bring beach cleaning into the mix!

Sarah walked the South West Coast Path – and raised extra funds by doing sponsored beach cleans along the way.

I'm ready to fundraise! [[link removed]]
