Sail the globe to raise money and awareness for abused kids
My Travel Story
I was born an Irish traveller or is what many of you might call a gypsy. I was taken from my family by the Strathclyde police at one-year-old and Kept in orphanages and foster care until I was seven. at which point I was adopted as it turns out my adoption was the force adoption where I was moved to Canada. I attended Saint Columbus College in largs Scotland from 1978 to 1981 where are myself and my classmates were abused physically sexually and psychologically by the Marist priests. Several years ago I was involved in a national investigation in regards to the conductivity of the priest involved in those schools and subsequently I am mentioned in the report four times. From there I was psychologically abused by myI am mentioned in the report four times. From there I was psychologically abused by my adoptive father until I was 17 . I suffer from PTSD and have a very difficult time coping being around people. This month after 49 I suffer from PTSD and have a very difficult time coping being around people. This month after 40 years I am returning to Scotland to face Peter Toner a paedophile at my school and teacher to testify against him and it is wearing heavily on my psyche. So over the past few years I've thought long and hard about what I can do for myself and for others to turn this negativity into something positive. What I decided to do was purchase a yacht with my own funds my life savings and spend the rest of my days selli What I decided to do was purchase a yacht with my own funds my life savings and spend the rest of my days sailing and raising funds and awareness for abused children all around the world . Unfortunately I've run out of funds to continue the endeavour and I'm being forced to sell my boat so I'm desperately looking for sponsors and donations to keep this operation underway. So I'm hoping to find some good people that are willing to assist me financially in order to continue on. I'm so close to finally achieving that goal in life but it has cost me everything to get it to the point where it's ready to start but as I sa I'm so close to finally achieving that goal in life but it has cost me everything to get it to the point where it's ready to start but as I say I've now run out of funds. Individuals that we're going to be involved to backed out and taking their funds them. As I've stated I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the betterment of other people but I need to maintain the vessel feed myself and cover expenses in order to achieve that objective I would hope to eventually find corporate sponsorships etc. but I'm very new at this and just trying to get things going I'm looking for financing and logistics my intentions are to document everything with GoPro and post online on YouTube whenever possible in order to maintain awareness and attempt to build up a following but those days are very young at this point. So I'm really hoping I can find some like-minded people . people that are willing to put faith in somebody like myself who has nothing but good intentions and a good heart. I do not yet have an organization that I would like to bring awareness for but that is something that we can work on together. All considerations and Assistance are greatly appreciated your truly with much love Marty
