In July Ian Tyers and I will be racing 1000 miles down the Yukon in a double kayak.

The Yukon 1000 is the longest kayak race in the world. It is totally unsupported; you take all your kit (tent, food, water, bear spray! etc) with you.

It starts at Whitehorse, Canada and finishes where the Dalton Highway crosses the river in Alaska; inside the Arctic circle.

This event is the end of our trilogy. In 2009 Ian and I completed the UK's longest canoe race (Devizes to Westminster -125 miles) and last year we rowed 3000 miles across Atlantic Ocean together. The Yukon 1000 completes our list.

We have raised money for FORCE Cancer each time.

We hope to raise £1 for each mile paddled. Thank you for your support and generosity.
