We pioneer life-saving cancer research to help us beat cancer

Story

The plan is simple. I do the infamous Devises to Westminster kayak race (The Everest of kayaking, 125miles 77locks) and all you have to do is sit there, twiddle your thumbs and send me a bit of money. Who gets the money? Well not me, I can assure you there. My goal is to raise, with the help of all you guys: £5,000 for Cancer reasearch.
For those of you who are not aware, I lost my older brother Matt to cancer over the summer of 09. Not long before he went he asked me to make a promise that I would do just this. So please tell all your friends family relatvies, random people who you met at a party, basically anyone. Its one thing to raise money so we can care for people with cancer, Its another thing to cure it.


Fellow Southampton club crews Blair Kantolinna/Tom Harriott and Ric Searle/James Pearson are also doing the race. If you arrived here via their prompting thanks very much for your support. We really appreciate your efforts. There are a couple of pics of them that you can see by by clicking on Photos.
