My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi, my name is Dan Paddon and i'm 14 years old. I am taking part in the Essex Dragon Boat Games. Myself and 10 of my Dad's work colleagues from Handelsbanken have put a team together.Our team name is, 'Tim's Handelsbanken Wariors'. We have already donated £400 to enter the race but we know we can do more. 

Recently my Dad Tim has been diagnosed with a type of blood cancer called myelodysplastic syndrome. Ever since his diagnosis I have wanted to do something to raise money and donate it to a good cause. When I heard about this boat race I immediately wanted to take part in it. The team and I will be massivly appreciative of any money you are able to donate; big or small it all helps. With your help we can beat blood cancer!

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
