Today we received a generous donation from the Brigg Lions Club in North Lincolnshire. Lions Club International is the world's largest service club organisation. Whenever a Lions club gets together, problems get smaller and communities get better. At present there are 46,000 clubs with 1.35 million members in 206 countries around the world. My Dad has been a member for many years and it was his suggestion that he approach his local Club to raise some sponsorship for us. Janice Radford then got in touch with us during our ride through Spain recently and it was through her efforts that Brigg Lions decided to sponsor Whale of a Ride and the International Whale & Dolphin Conservation Society.
Our thanks and appreciation go out to all the members of the Brigg Lions Club (some of whom are pictured here fundraising last Xmas) and we look forward to meeting them in person in October when we plan
to attend one of their meetings to give a presentation about the conservation & community projects that they have helped by sponsoring us.
