14 highly tuned Athletes and friends have formed together to create possibly the best Dragon boat team the London docklands and the world has ever seen to raise money for Back-Up!!! www.backuptrust.org.uk
Back-Up supports spinally injured people by exchanging hospitals for lakes and mountains, wheelchairs for boats and skis . Frustration and anger for achievement and fun by running a year round programme of activity courses that are challenging events for able bodied and spinally injured people. It helps them realise that life is still out there after becoming paralysed.
The Back-Up Trusts Dragon Boat Race is a rigorous heats race, which while raising money for Back-Up, we hope to cruise to victory over our corporate rivals!
Every day, 3 people across the UK will suffer a life changing spinal cord injury. You have a chance of helping those 3 people. Today 3 people are coming to terms with their injury, contemplating that from today, their lives will never be the same. With your help our volunteers can show them that life might not be the same, but it can be just as good if not better.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Back-Up Trust gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. Please sponsor us now!
Why not Come and support this fine team, the more the merrier and make it into a night out for your friends or your office? If you would like to have some delicious BBQ food let us know in advance. We need to know numbers for the BBQ for eating guests by Thursday 28th August and payment will be taken on the night, we must pass on the full BBQ cost (£21.75 - see www.backuptrust.org.uk/dragon.html for the full menu) as Docklands Sailing and Watersports Centre are a charity themselves.
