My story

Back the Dragon Divas

The Focus PR team aims to raise £2,300 for The Back-Up Trust, a charity which runs services to help rebuild people's self-confidence, motivation and independence following a spinal cord injury.

On the evening of Thursday 3 September 2009, half the Focus PR team - the Dragon Divas - will take to the waves (well, the Thames), come rain or shine.

We're competing in this year's Dragon Boat Racing to raise money for people who can't race themselves because they've suffered the horror of a spinal cord injury.

Every day, three Britons suffer a life-changing spinal cord injury. And every day, three people are coming to terms with their injury, and the fact that their lives will never be the same again. With the support of donations, The Back-Up Trust can help show them that life may not be the same, but it can be good.

Every pound counts. Please help us fund a wheelchair skills session in a spinal hospital (£25), a water skiing taster day (£200), a Back-Up summer course (£1,500)...

And do come and support us on the night - we'll be thrilled to see you. Further details from adrienne@focuspr.co.uk.

Please dig deep (as we will have to do during the racing), and donate now.

Thank you, from us all.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe and they’ll never sell them on or send you 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 - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
