Steve Prescott Engage Mutual Challenge
My Donations to date: £0
Fundraiser(s): Steve Hampson
Event: Steve Prescott Engage Mutual Challenge
Event Date: 09th October 2010
Charitie(s) Supported: Steve Prescott Foundation,
I have been invited to take on the Aussies once again. This time
for a World Record.
This is my next challenge.
I will join a band
of 20 paddlers and we will try to break the Guinness World Record attempt for
distance in a dragon boat. The current record is held by the Australian Dragon
Boat Team at 168.5 km in 24 hours and the GB Team want to try and hit 180 km in
24 hours. This is happening on on 9/10th October 2010 on Derwent Water,
Cumbria,
Graciously this mammouth task will benefit The Steve Prescott Foundation as the money raised from this event will be shared by the Bedford Air Ambulance and The SPF.
Former GB Dragon Boat Coach and SPF Committee Member Paul
Griffiths said "Hampo was first choice to represent the foundation, his skills,
desire and technique will be a welcome addition to the team!". Steve relished
the opportunity to get one over on the Old Enemy "I cant wait, it will be so
good to beat the Aussies, you never lose the competitive edge. I love challenges
and this is one more on my CV, plus a raise cash and awareness for Preckies
Charity, bring it on!"
Please sponsor me to help others and beat the
Aussies.
