On Friday 18th September we will begin a 3 day journey along the river Stour in order to raise money for Catching Lives and Alzheimer's society. You can donate to an individual charity below, or split your donations between the two.
The journey will begin on the Friday and cover 40 miles of river, emerging at Pegwell Bay near Sandwich on Sunday afternoon.
The money raised for Catching Lives will go towards the running of the Canterbury Community Shelter, which is set to open for its 6th year this December and will run till the end of February 2016, offering both a safe space to sleep and the chance to work with staff to find accommodation for up to 15 homeless people a night. The shelter is partly funded by Canterbury City Council but still relies on fundraising events, and also the support of the local community, in order to run each year.
Money is also being raised for Alzheimer's society, which is one of the leading charities in the UK that support individuals affected by dementia.
Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
