Story
Canoe Against Cancer (CAC)
www.canoeagainstcancer.com Darren Apps (D.A.) and Steve Gallagher (Skippy) have entered this years Missouri 340 Canoe Race. It is the world's longest annual river race, 340 miles to be completed within 88 hours! This takes place in July on the Missouri river in America. The race is a true test of endurance, with one third of entrants failing to finish within the allotted time. It starts on the 27th July in Kansas and finishes on the 30th July in St. Louis.
We are hoping to attract sponsorship by completing this event and have set up a charity to be the benefactor. Canoe Against Cancer (CAC) has been set up because one of our friends, Fraser Jones, has been diagnosed with cancer this year. Fraser has two young children, a mortgage and is currently unable to work due to the treatment he is undergoing. He is receiving help from Macmillan cancer support. They will receive 50% of the funds raised; the rest will go into a managed trust fund we have set up for Fraser. If you would like to donate we both have sponsor forms, DA's can be found in the George & Dragon Tonbridge.
