Story

Given our summer holidays have been cancelled, we wanted a challenge. Having never kayaked before we naively signed up to 'Tour the Shores'. 

We aim to circumnavigate the Islands of the Bailiwick of Guernsey by kayak one at a time. We will start with Lihou and then move on to Herm, Sark, Alderney and Guernsey. As well as personal and physical challenges the very task of circumnavigating each Island has it's own set of significant logistical challenges for the whole team.

Please support us by donating to our cause. We are using this opportunity to raise as much money as possible for the Smile for Georgie foundation, Guernsey Mind and Les Bourgs Hospice. 

About the charity

Following the tragic road traffic accident in July of 2017 the family of Georgie Le Prevost wanted to do something positive and decided to raise money through a sponsored, tandem parachute jump with Jersey skydive. Annie and Jenny Le Prevost were overwhelmed with the immense public support and generosity of Guernsey people who made a vast number of donations to their Just Giving page. This generosity prompted the family to consider ways in which they could make a positive contribution to the Island in memory of Georgie and this is how the concept of the “Smile For Georgie Foundation” emerged. The Foundation was officially registered on the 31st January 2018, with the purpose of making a difference and bringing smiles to the people of Guernsey through small acts of kindness. Those who knew Georgie will appreciate the positive contribution she made to life and the smile she had for everyone. The Foundation intends to reflect her personality in all that is does and looks forward to receiving ongoing public support that will ensure its success
