I have started this fund-raising page after many requests from people that I know - I do understand if on this occasion you cannot donate, there is a huge pull on people's pockets, in that case just wish me well on twitter #paddle4mnda

I am asking you if you would consider making a donation to this charity event - my daughter is going to swim and raise money for MND Association - my WIFE and I will be KAYAKING alongside her to provide safety cover and support.

I would like to ask you to please sponsor us as we paddle across the Solent from Ryde IOW to Stokes Bay, Gosport - this will be our biggest ever open-water crossing - and we are going to do it in a double-kayak - so for all you married folks out there you know that this brings its own dimension to the challenge :-) a bit of a  push-you-pull-me moment!

Any amount is gratefully accepted.
