Story

Please help us keep our GOLD medals and raise some real GOLD for Born Too Soon.

On Sunday 16th July our team of amazing athletes gather in preparation for a day of hard racing. Putting their fine tuned bodies to the test. The months of preparation with all the training at the gym, on the river, and analysis at the pub comes to a head in 3 intense heats to get into the final.

The final race will only bring out the best in this fine band of men if they can raise lots of money for Born Too Soon.

They’ll sweat, they’ll cry, they’ll be in pain, lungs bursting, they’ll be on top form but need your support to raise roof fo the sick babies at Kingston Hospital.

The crew will deliver everything to win against 60 other dragin boat teams.

We won gold last year and won medals for the last 6 years of the event. This year, with your support, help us retain our GOLD medal and trophy.

Our chosen charity is Born Too Soon,  the Premature baby unit at Kingston Hospital. The Neonatal Unit cares for small preterm babies and unwell newborn infants requiring specialist care. On average they provide care for over 500 premature or ill babies each year. Every penny donated will go towards saving a premature babies life.  ALL the money goes directly to the charity.

Thank you to our illustrious Dragons and their families for joining the crew to support an amazing charity. So please dig deep and donate, it's really appreciated and every penny goes a long way. ALL the money goes directly to the charity.
