<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Here is a little bit about us:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">We are a group of 7 women from Braunton who have decided to take up the fantastic challenge of paddling the 22 miles to Lundy by sea kayak. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">The seed of the idea was planted by Rob McIntyre of Sea Kayaking South West over coffee one morning.&nbsp; Whilst his wife Anita and a bunch of friends were trying to find a date for a leisurely trip around the bay, Rob suggested a paddle to Lundy Island! &ldquo;Could we do that?&rdquo; - &ldquo;Of course&rdquo;, he replied. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Who could resist? With such a positive attitude, how could we fail?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">We know we have a huge task ahead of us but we are determined to complete the challenge. Rob and Rhoda will accompany us on our paddle, the date of which will depend on sea conditions at the time but we are aiming for late Spring, early Summer.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">We are: Andrea Stebbings, Laura Martin, Lorraine Irwin, Helen Robinson, Andrea Clay, Meryl Tanton and Anita McIntyre, collectively known as Lundy or Bust!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Thank you again for visiting our page, we really appreciate your donations.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Special thanks must also go to Rob McIntyre and Sea Kayaking South West without whom the trip would not even be possible (and for having the patience of a saint - it's not easy trying to tell 7 women what to do).</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Lundy or Bust Team :0)</span></p>
