Canoe The Thames · 19 May 2012

Bridgebuilder Trust works in local schools to communicate Christian values to young people in a lively and engaging way. We deliver lessons, themed projects and assemblies that inform, challenge and contribute to the educational agenda. We want every young person to be able to make informed choices about Christian faith.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over the years I have walked, run and climbed to rasie money for the Bridgebuilder Trust. This time I will be attempting with others to canoe the equivalent of the River Thames. The River is 215 miles (344km) long and I will paddling as many 500m lenghts of Caldecotte North lake as I can. I haven't been in a canoe for many years so this will be a big challenge.

I spent a total of 3 hours in kayaks and canoes and covered a total distance of 13 km the team completd 301km which pretty well covered the navigable length of the Thames - 4 more paddlers would have ensured that we hit our target. The pain in my arms and shoulders made drving home uncomfortable and playing guitar on Sunday morning proved to be a painful experience.

Please make the pain worthwhile by sponsoring me.
