KAYAK CHALLENGE INFORMATION
So you want to get involved?
Charity Founder and Chief Ambassador, John Willis, who was born without fully formed arms and legs, is super excited to be taking to the river to embark on this 108-mile kayak paddle from Cricklade to Eton Dorney!!
But he needs help and this is where YOU come in!
The 108 miles or 175km has been broken up into eight days, and each day has been further split into two or three sessions of paddling. You can therefore choose your distance between 4km and 14km. We are hugely grateful to British Canoeing who have planned the route meticulously to ensure safe landing and changeover locations for each session.
So we are looking for members of the community, fundraisers, celebrities and sports stars to join John in his double kayak for each of the 21 sessions, helping him on his journey along the River Thames and raising vital funds for the charity.
