On the 15th & 16th of September 2016 the Thomsons Thames Challenge II kicks off - a challenge to travel along the Thames by any means possible with an aim to raise as much money as possible for Great Ormond Street Hospital - our ultimate aim is to raise enough for a private room to be built in the hospital.

The team I am taking part in will be travelling by Kayak - myself and work friends will be Kayaking along the Thames, starting in Oxford Friday morning, and aiming to get to Reading Saturday lunchtime.
