We have a new member to our Kayaking team. Please welcome Gus (Russell) Dickerson. He is paddling from Budapest to the Black sea (1650kms). Gus is also a fellow Australian who we became friends with in London. He was very keen to take the challenge and get involved to support canteen, we cannot thank him enough. Gus has never set paddle to water or been in a kayak and so far he is powering on like an energizer bunny! So lets go team, only 1174km to go! We are hoping to finish around the 15th september.
Our team will be kayaking from Regensburg in Germany to the Black Sea in Romania along the Danube river in Europe. As well as being a great adventure and a huge challlenge, covering around 2500km in 2.5-3months we want to turn it in favour of the beautiful and inspirational children of CanTeen.
We (Eve & Chrissy) have been members of CanTeen throughout our childhood as our brother, Adrian has been battling with a brain tumor since a very young age and this is still ongoing. We know how hard it can be to grow up living with cancer so we would love to give back and support those families who are in need today.
Your support and understanding of this cause; even if its only a little bit will mean the world to many.
We Start on the 26th of June and will paddle for as long as it takes to get to the Black Sea! So please help make everyone of our paddle strokes count by supporting our cause, we hope to raise $1 for every km we each do :)
