Stand Up Paddle Boarding the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal in one day (35 miles) · 28 August 2021

We are a voluntary Search and Rescue service covering the Central Brecon Beacons and the South and Mid Wales area. A 999 24/7 service operating in all weather conditions to assist those injured/lost in mountain/rural/urban environments. We rely on donations for the £60,000 yearly running costs.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So this year I turn 35 years young. To mark this achievement I have decided to raise funds for Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team. We currently need a defibrillator and other equipment on our control vehicle. This vehicle is usually found at the centre of our rescues and is the main vehicle to be used at events. To have a defibrillator stationed on our control vehicle would mean we can ensure injured casualties get the best possible treatment at the earliest opportunity. 

The defibrillator on its own costs a whopping £1550. I’m not expecting to raise that amount but with your help we will take a big amount off the cost. The reason we need this particular defibrillator is so it can fit comfortably on our already packed vehicle, then in an emergency we can place it into a back pack quickly and the light weight allows us to take it on the hill. 

If by chance we raise over the £1550. All additional funds will go towards other equipment that helps us help people in need.

So the actual challenge: I am planning on Stand Up Paddle boarding the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal (35 miles), all in 1 day. This will be an epic challenge as every inch of the journey will be done by paddle power as there is no current or flow to help. I will be starting at Pontymoile and finishing at Brecon. 

Please only donate what you can afford to this great cause.
