We're back for another year. The Blazing Paddles have some new teammates willing to take on the challenge of Dragonboat Racing against the best of the best (well, the best at Bewl Water on the day). We are ready to Paddle until our biceps cry for mercy!

Will we be the fastest team on the water? Probably not.

Will we give it absolutely everything? You bet!

But this isn't really about winning races. It's about helping an incredible local charity, Taylor-Made Dreams, continue the life-changing work they do for children with life-limiting illnesses and their families.

Taylor-Made Dreams creates magical experiences and precious memories when time matters most. From fulfilling bucket-list wishes and providing counselling and sibling support, to helping with medical travel costs and creating treasured keepsakes, they make an immeasurable difference to families facing the toughest of journeys. Their mission is simple: to help children with life-limiting illnesses experience joy, hope and unforgettable moments together with the people they love.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps make those moments possible.

If you can spare a few pounds, we'd be hugely grateful for your support. Together we can help create more smiles, more adventures and more memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you from all of The Blazing Paddles. ❤️
