A SIXTH former is looking for sponsorship to become a crew member and experience the challenging summer adventure of the Tall Ships race.
Nathan Jemison, 17, has secured a position on the Black Diamond of Durham, for the Tall Ships race that leaves Hartlepool on Monday, June 24.
He has already raised funds for the first leg of the tour, from Hartlepool to Aartius, Denmark, by holding packing and car wash events and has also won sponsorship of £100 from a local company.
Nathan, from Carrville, is keen to complete three legs of the tour in order to qualify for the residential section of his Gold Duke of Edinburgh award and is looking for additional sponsorship to continue on to the second and third legs, to Helsinki, Finland, and then Riga, Latvia.
A further £1,000 is needed to secure Nathan’s position for the second and third leg. To sponsor him, call 07791-663-914.
