Sea Rescue is an amazing organization ‘staffed’ by 980 unpaid volunteers who unselfishly give of their time and skills to help others in distress at sea.The kindness of the many Sea Rescue supporters is also a source of amazement. One of these supporters is Don Millar who recently turned 40.Don asked his friends to donate money rather than give him presents, and with the kind support of Foto First, who are the distributors for Pentax, he managed to secure 4 pairs of Marina Pentax Sport binoculars at the cost price! These binoculars will be sent to the Sea Rescue stations around the coast that most need them.Thanks Don and Foto First. Your kindness is appreciated and will make a difference to our operations.
