Hi,

A couple of reasons to donate to the Kent Air Ambulance:

1) They do really excellent work saving lives by providing emergency medical care that otherwise wouldn't be available

2) I'm asking for sponsorship in memory of my uncle, Graham Budden, who flew the Kent Air Ambulance. He was a great inspiration to me and everyone else who knew him. I've never met anyone else who had such an appetite for adventure.

3) I'm doing a long, and likely very arduous, kayaking event in the far North of Canada. I'm doing this because I want the challenge, but supporting a great charity will spur me and my teammate Dave on to complete the 70hour race.

Clearly the race is going to be a bit of a "suffer-fest"; I won't be necessarily expecting the usual marathon "per-mile" donations as the event is 460 miles long...

P.S. A quick update on how the quest went: we managed not only to complete the race (which I was absolutely delighted about...), but also managed to win the Men's Tandem Kayak race in a time of 53 hours, 15 minutes. Thanks for all your help and support, it really kept us going through the gruelling race!
