In support of Claire House Hospice in Merseyside, members of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines will be canoeing from Leeds to Liverpool by canal. 

Calling in at Skipton, Burnley, Wigan and Aintree, the programme is at the bottom of the page if you wish to join us along the way!  We are hosting a couple of pub quizzes, bringing a bit of Navy life to the local community of the inland waterways.

Over a period of 5 days, covering the 127 miles there will be 6 people on the water and to keep them company a Royal Marine will be running alongside.... just because he can! 

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor the team online, it's simple, fast and totally secure. Claire House Children's Hospice will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.
