We’re delighted to share that Dermot O’Leary is supporting CAFOD’s Lent Appeal and he would love to share a short message with you.This Lent we shared the story of James the fisherman in Liberia, who risked losing everything to go out onto the water. Five fishermen a month – many he called ‘brothers’ – were dying in storms at sea. Just like him, they couldn’t afford the life jackets, compasses and other equipment needed to stay safe at sea and get a good catch.Please give generously to our Lent Appeal to help people like James the fisherman feed their families, not just for today or tomorrow, but for good.
