Devizes to Westminster Kayak Marathon · 30 March 2024

We’re your local air ambulance charity, saving lives across Kent, Surrey, and Sussex when every second counts. Our helicopters bring the emergency room to the scene fast, delivering advanced lifesaving care to those who suddenly become injured or critically ill, 24/7.

Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page in support of Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS).

At 04h30 on Easter Saturday, my mate and I will depart Devizes in Wiltshire in a 2-man kayak, aiming to paddle all day Saturday, right through Saturday night until we reach Westminster some time around mid-morning on Sunday, around 30 hours later.

Between the start and finish are 125 miles of canal and river, and we will need to carry the boat around a total of 77 locks. The Devizes-Westminster is the longest single-stage kayak race in the world.

KSS is an independent charity. It costs over £16.6M a year to sustain their world-leading, cutting edge, innovative service and amazingly 87% is donated and raised by the people of Kent, Surrey and Sussex.

I'm hoping that in participating in his fundamentally stupid exercise, I'll get 10 people to sponsor £10 each towards this great cause. Hopefully we won't need the air ambulance during the race... :-)
