My story

On Sunday 11th July Make-York will race in this year’s York Rotary Dragon Boat Challenge on the River Ouse to raise money for local charity Our Celebration.The Dragon Boat Challenge is a fun, exciting event that’s so far raised over £480,000 for local good causes. The team will take part in three preliminary rounds and hope to be one of the six fastest teams who will compete in the Grand Final.

Our Team is made up of; Will Brennand, Nicola Fielding, Jon Irvine, Sarah Valentine, Chris Chittock, Stuart Goulden, Becky Green, Graeme Parker, Andy Curry, John Puet, Josh Leaf, Chris Massey, Lucy Robertson, David Tew, Michael France, Emma Chittock, Simon Rodgers, Lindsay Taaffe and Rachel Smith.

Our Celebration helps people recovering from mental health problems to progress towards recovery, social inclusion and integration in mainstream activities like learning, volunteering or employment.They’ll get two-thirds of the money our team raises this year, and the rest will go to St Leonard’s Hospice, this year’s York Rotary Dragon Boat Challenge-nominated charity.

We’re also organising an after-race party on the Sunday evening –watch out for more information soon!

 

Please do come down on the day, and support the Make-Our Celebration Team!!
