The Sisterhood returns in 2009 with more members and more challenges. Following on from winning the international womens race in the Great Amazon Raft Race 2008 and our world record achievement of 2007 when The Sisterhood crossed the English Channel in a dragonboat the hood have successfully raised £200,000 for The Babes in Arms Appeal at Northwick Park and The CHASE Ben Hollioake Fund.
The Sisterhood coordinates the major fundraising events for the Appeal including record breaking endurance challenges such as a cross-channel dragon boat race and the Great Amazon Raft Race as well as various social events througout the year.
With double the girls, double the events and hopefully double the funds raised, The Sisterhood kicks off 2009 with an Adventure race, The Vogolonga (a 30km boat race round the canals of Venice in May), Triathlons, Surf Boat races before then swimming the Bosphorous and ending in paddling round Dubai.
On top of the sports events, there are monthly fundraising events hosted by various notorious private members clubs, parties at London Rowing Club as well as many other events along the way and all are welcome.
Please help us reach our fundraising target for Babes in Arms either through donations or by joining us at any of our events. See www.sisterhoodchallenge.com for more info. For those of you on facebook there is a 'sisterhood and groupies' group that will keep you posted on all our upcoming parties.
Thank You,
The Sisterhood
