This spring I'm taking on the challenge of a 30 mile sponsored paddle board, alongside my two friends Ian and Rob, to raise money for children cared for by Stand by Me.
We'll be paddle boarding 30 miles to celebrate 30 years of Stand by Me rescuing children around the world. Our plan is to paddle the River Bann from Toome to Coleraine over the course of the spring, paddling when the weather lets us! The money that we raise will help meet the needs of some of the poorest children in communities where Stand by Me work, providing access to clean water, regular nutritious food, healthcare and the opportunity of a quality education.
Every donation will make a difference!
Thank you so much for your support as we take on this challenge, and for helping us to transform the lives of Stand by Me kids around the world.
Laura, Ian and Rob
