Long-time Project AWARE supporter, Pedro Mendes, is passionate about wildlife and conservation. But this year, he’s taking that passion to a whole new level. Pedro has pledged to raise £2,000 for ocean protection through Project AWARE by 31st December. And he’s not taking this pledge lightly.

Throughout 2011, Pedro is undergoing some intense training regimes and competing in events he’s never attempted before. By entering himself into a number of sporting challenges and triathlons Pedro has already raised 43 percent of his goal. Up next? The Virgin Active London Triathlon on 31st July quickly followed up by the 2011 Malta International Tag Rugby Festival on 6th August. Go Pedro! 

Cheer Pedro on personally. Better yet, make a pledge of support. You can also follow Pedro’s events on his My Ocean profile page here. Help Pedro fly his Project AWARE flag high!
