I'm happy to announce that IMG Travel insurance will be sponsoring me on my kayak journey around the UK and Ireland!
During the past few months while I have been preparing for the expedition, I discovered that as a non-resident spending several months doing adventure travel in the UK, I don't get to free-ride on the largesse of the British National Health Service, unfortunately.
So if something happens and I need to call a helicopter to come fetch me out of the North Sea, or get roughed up on breaking barrel wave on a deserted beach; a lot of things might be uncertain, but the one thing I know for sure, is that the British Government will send me the bill for the rescue and the hospital visit on behalf of British Tax Payers.
Therefore, I got insurance to cover me from head to toe!
At 39 I'm not as invincible as I used to be when I was in my 20s, but what I now lack in strength, I make up for with wisdom, by using money on the thing it's meant to buy me: PEACE OF MIND to paddle 4,500 miles!
In the interest of full disclosure, If you purchase a policy from IMG through my links on this page, they will pay me a commission.
However, in the spirit of giving back, for the duration of my journey around the UK and Ireland, I will be donating all the proceeds I make to St. Mungo's, a charity helping the homeless in the south of England. I'll make the donations as the proceeds come in.
If you would also like to help St. Mungo's, you can sponsor 1 mile of my journey around the the UK and Ireland with a $5 donation through image or link below.
