This year we will be Kayaking the Great Glen to raise money for Backup. We will have to cover over 60 miles across Canals and Natural freshwater lochs while trying not to be seen by Nessy!!

Backup are a fantastic charity who help to get people 'back-up' doing what they love after having a spinal cord injury. They facilitate this through sport. Katy (Kat's mum) fell off a horse and was paralysed 15 years ago. Since the accident she has done several trips and courses through backup. She has always been an inspiration to everyone around her showing us all what is possible no matter what life throws at you. Now it's our turn to give something back!  

Judy was diagnosed with MS last year which will mean she will eventually need to use a wheelchair. She has drawn a huge amount of inspiration from Katy and this year they have started to play wheelchair tennis together. 

Please support us on our journey. We'll keep you updated on our progress, through Just Giving and our FB page: https://www.facebook.com/kayakchallange/?fref=ts 

This is going to be a real challenge for us both as the most we have done is paddle down the wye in a canoe! We'll be taking lessons and learning how to capsize safely!! 

Thanks you, Kat & Judy :-)
