Story

Hello all, We’re kayaking 100km for Mind Uk on an inflatable kayak on may 14th

In 2018, Abi Oliver, Matts sister, sadly took her life after a long battle with her mental health. Following her death, the Oliver family decided to raise money for a charity they believed could help stop more families losing loved ones to similar struggles. They chose Mind Uk.
Mind UK is a mental health charity that gives advice and support to anyone struggling with mental health problems, while also campaigning to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding.
We (Matt Oliver, Morty Bisnought and Alistair Hendry) have decided to continue the fundraising by kayaking 100km down the Thames from Morty’s house in Reading to Matt and Ali’s house in London on an inflatable 3 man kayak with no training. The trip will last 2-3 days and will hopefully not result in the kayak bursting before we get there.
We hope you can get behind the cause and support us on the journey. 

Any amount will help.
