We are a dedicated team from a UK Dragon Boat Club, proudly joining forces with our friends at Pershore Dragons near Worcester and Race The Dragons to participate in the "Swim, Run, Row/Paddle to Ukraine!" personal challenge. Our mission is clear and heartfelt: to raise £2,000 in support of Ukrainian Action (UK) by sending four Dragon Boats to the resilient Odesa Dragon Boat Club in Ukraine.

In 2023, the Odesa Dragon Boat Club faced devastating setbacks when their boathouse was struck by two Russian kamikaze drone attacks amid the ongoing conflict.

These attacks destroyed much of their equipment and halted their ability to train and compete. Now more than ever, they need our help to rebuild not just their boats but their community spirit.

By donating these boats and essential equipment, we aim to empower local people—including children and war veterans—to reconnect through sport, find strength in teamwork, and foster healing during challenging times.

Please motivate us as our club takes part in this challenge to raise the necessary funds to transport the four boats to Ukraine and donate to our page.

Thank you
