Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity. You do not have to donate to Just Giving 😉.

Please give generously and this is why...

Oxenwood is run by Youth Action Wiltshire we go there with our school. It offers activities to children less fortunate than ourselves.

Even though it could be extreme weather we will be paddling from Devizes to Wootton Rivers in January. We will do this as a team to complete 125 miles.

We chose this challenge because kayaking is a family favourite. Over the winter we will be practicing and experimenting with different boats and techniques building our upper body strength on the monkey bars.

Just in case you are wondering Micky Bye is my parents best man who sadly died early in 2019 he was a keen fisherman and would have loved the canal as much as we do.

We are not doing this to be famous and want your help to reach our targets of 125 miles and £950 for Oxenwood. Please give generously.
