A former soldier is hoping his seven days and nights in a life raft will be a lifeline to Great Ormond Street Hospital too in his unique fundraising effort. His tiny life raft was towed out to a bouy and secured there in Portland Harbour today (mon) until next Monday as he started his survival period with just the items that one would have on such an emergency craft. Wayne Ingram, from Portland, has raised thousands of pounds for children around the world but now wants to do his bit for children in the UK. He will spend 168 hours between May 18 and 25 in a life raft bobbing around on the sea hoping to raise at least £20, 000 for Great Ormond Street ChildrenÕs Hospital. The challenge will see Wayne try and recreate a survival at sea situation by living in the 1.2 cubic metre raft with only 24 hours worth of food and water. Wayne will have to use a special pump to create enough water for him to survive on the reverse osmosis pump makes drinking water from salty sea water but it takes a great deal of effort and time just to get a few drops so Wayne will have his work cut out. The sea temperature is currently 7C so keeping warm will be a battle for the ex soldier who will lose much heat from the floor of the raft add to that chilly winds and keeping mobile are the other factors that will make it a very hard challenge for him. He said: ÒIÕve never done anything before for the kiddies of the UK, it has always been for children throughout the world like in Bosnia and Africa. ÒGreat Ormond Street is an amazing place. The help they have given me over the last 10 years has been amazing. They put 100 per cent in to it.Ó WayneÕs relationship with Great Ormond Street began when he raised funds for Stefan Savic a four-year-old boy from Bosnia to have facial reconstruction surgery at the hospital. 18th May, 2015 PICTURE BY: DORSET MEDIA SERVICE
