Kingston Rotary Dragon Boat Challenge · 17 July 2022 ·

Team Colette will once again be taking part in the Kingston Rotary Dragon Boat day this July. Our aim is to raise funds for WAY Widowed and Young - and also to beat Team Ed! Please consider donating to help urge on our team of paddlers.

Story

I am doing something crazy on Sunday, 17 July (yep - it's going to be 35 degrees!) by paddling down the River Thames in a Dragon Boat to raise funds for WAY Widowed and Young!

WAY is the only national charity in the UK for people aged 50 or under when their partner died. It's a club that nobody wants to be eligible to join, but it was a real lifeline to me when Ben died, which is why I want to help support others who've been widowed young too.

WAY offers peer-to-peer support through a network of volunteers who have been bereaved at a young age themselves, so they understand exactly what other members are going through.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, WAY now has over 4,500 members across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Please give generously and help WAY to reach out to more young widowed people - letting them know that they don't need to navigate this journey on their own.

Thank you!
