My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are doing the charity Dragon Boat Challenge on the Thames in Kingston on Sunday 19th July 2009.

This is novice Dragon Boat racing for charity rather than the organised leagues of people who know what they are doing. I think there are 32 boats that race in heats and the least rubbish performers go through to a knockout, ending up with a final.  

The boat I am on is sponsoring Jeevika (reg charity number 271167) whose aim is "To work towards an India without absolute poverty where all people have the opportunity to live with dignity free from hunger, deprivation and marginalisation. See www.jeevika.org.uk

 Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Many thanks

Simon
