Hi, I'm Elsie, and I'm going on a school trip to do turtle conservation work in Greece. I wrote an essay that got me on to the trip, as I am very passionate about the environment.

We will be staying on a beach in Kefalonia so that we can easily do scientific surveys of turtle populations.

The trip is very expenisive so I am raising money myself by doing a sponsored swim. I plan to swim 2000 metres. I am training every week and I am on track for my goal. I hope to do the swim on the 27th of April.

Any donations are recieved with thanks!!
