Story

<p><strong>Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Marathon</strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Held every year over the Easter break, this race starts&nbsp;on the canal in Devizes, then&nbsp;swaps onto the river at Reading&nbsp;and finishes&nbsp;at Westminster Bridge.&nbsp;&nbsp;A distance of 125 miles and 77 portages - running around a lock with your boat. I am hoping to paddle this year in a two man boat with&nbsp;my friend Alan Matthes, we are both ex competitive canoeists that have tackled this race as juniors, but never done it nonstop. We are hoping to complete the course in less than 22 hours, weather and water conditions allowing.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">I am raising money for the 'British Heart Foundation' a charity that without, my daughter and many others would not be alive today.&nbsp; So please help.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
