“We would like to thank Mick Fanning, who lives up to everything it is to be an ambassador for conservation and is an inspiration to many in and out of the water. We would also like to thank the legendary team at Omaze who made this possible and everyone who contributed to the campaign, including the winners who spent an amazing few days with Mick in Hawaii,” said Sarah Dennis, spokesperson for WildArk Australia.
