I am a homeless, ex-military man planning the canoe from San Malo, France to the Black Sea via the waterways of Europe and return by way of the Mediterranean to southern France and then to San Malo via French Waterways. A total journey of 12000km and a time of 8 - 9 mths. The aim of this trip is to raise donations for the Sue Ryder Charity, who helped my late Brother with his fight with cancer and the Royal British Legion, as I'm ex-military via sponsorship for the trip. However, the distance and time period requires meticulous pre-planning and considerable funding for equipment and food. Your support with this funding would be greatly appreciated.

The actual canoe trip is a lone venture, hence the meticulous pre-planning and this is being undertaken by a small, volunteer admin team to whom I am very grateful
