Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be taking on the “Canoeists Everest” to raise money for a minibus for Prior's Court School, a specialist school for pupils with autism.

The 125 mile Devizes to Westminster canoe race, known as the “Canoeist’s Everest”, is the UK’s toughest, open to all endurance event.  No sleep, no rest, eating and drinking on the move – it is a true test of stamina and will power, taking canoeists to the limit of mental and physical endurance.

For pupils at Prior’s Court, many of whom spend up to 44 weeks of the year boarding at the school, trips into the community are essential in order to practice the skills which are taught on site.  Pupils regularly use minibuses to visit local supermarkets, cafes and many other local venues. 

I have no prior canoeing experience, so I'm currently incorporating upper body strength work into my gym routine as well as training every Thursday evening in canoeing and K1 class.
