GUTLESS KAYAKING fundraising for St. Mark's Hospital: http://www.gutlesskayaking.com

Between  September 11 2010 to 1st October 2010 Justin and Skibum (and at various times Mitchell, Will, JP, Steve and Paul) paddled 240 miles from Manchester  to London.

WHY GUTLESS?

Due to Crohn's disease most of Justin's intestines have been removed. He needs at least 12 hours of intravenous nutrition (total parenteral nutrition: TPN) every day to survive. For this trip Justin was connected to his intravenous feed the entire time! 24 hours every day - even whilst paddling. He carried out all his aseptic procedures in a little cabin at the back of a narrowboat.

WHO ARE WE FUNDRAISING FOR?

St. Mark's Hospital in Harrow, London specialises in intestinal failure and is responsible for Justin's treatment. The hospital has a charitable arm (http://www.stmarksfoundation.org/index.php?page=money_goes) that runs research and educational programmes. This is who we are fundraising for.

Please visit our website www.gutlesskayaking.com for more details about how your donation will be used, as well as more details about this trip and Justin's condition.

You can also follow us on http://www.twitter.com/gutlesskayaking or http://www.facebook.com/gutlesskayaking.

WHY DO WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT?

More research is essential in order to ensure that people like us have the optimum means of living as normal lives as possible. Every penny we can raise will help with St. Mark's research programme and may mean that one day we can all have access to the best and most appropriate treatment in the world!
