Up to 10 people paddle each 30’ boat with a drummer at the front beating time and a helm at the tail steering a straight course.</p><div class="sub"><div class="sub"><p>Shredall (SDS) have a special place for Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People and as any parent will tell you, to look into the eyes of a sick child is a deeply moving experience. To know your child has a limited life must be the greatest human challenge any of us could imagine. If a family ever has to cope with this, Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People will be there for them.</p></div><p>Rainbows is the only children's hospice in the East Midlands and cares for over 220 local children and their families every year. An incredible team helps to control symptoms, improve quality of life and provide end of life care. To provide such a high level of expertise and professional care costs £3.8 million a year. Rainbows gets less than 15% of its funding from the government and therefore relies almost solely on the generosity of members of the public, fundraising events and sponsorship.</p><p>Please dig deep and donate now.</p></div>
