My story

 
On 31st August, 2008, a team of dedicated Jupiterites are competing against teams from across the county to raise money for Nottinghamshire Royal Society for the Blind at their Dragon Boat Charity Challenge on the River Trent.

Dragon Boat Racing is an ancient Chinese tradition with over 2000 years of history where brightly coloured narrow rowing boats race against each other. Our team of 16 Jupiterites led by Captain Matthew "The Machine" Hird and encouraged on by India "Bang Bang" Barff as the drummer, are after your sponsorship for this worthy cause.

The rest of the team are:
Lee "Big Splash" Wilson
Patrick "Powerhouse" Leverton
Lucy "The Clipper" Kong
Michael "A Lone Crusader" Knight
James "Big Guns" Briggs
Aouse "The Rower" Al-Rawi
Matthew "Water Legs" Putland
James "Big Brawn" Boughton
Niall "The Man" Minnery
Michelle "The Rock" Stocks
Clare "Super Fast" Suter
Liam "Speedy" Nicholls
Hayley "Lightning Flash" Jackson and
Joby "Paddles" Pridmore

NRSB’s events provide much needed funds for the NRSB to carry out its essential services. The NRSB’s work strives to enhance the quality of life and independence of vision impaired people in Nottinghamshire. There are over 6,000 vision impaired people in the county, many of whom will need some level of support to achieve independence at some stage in their lives.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Nottinghamshire Royal Society for the Blind 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.

So please support us and sponsor us now!
