Kayak Race Update:
Our new date for the kayak race is THIS SUNDAY 12th October. There's still time to donate, you can follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see how we get on!
We are going to be doing an 18 mile race down the river Trent in kayaks to raise money for the Kings Trust, donate to my page to make me do some embarrassing forfeits! (See details below)
