The original Paddle for Life started after lifeguards from held a memorial paddle to raise money for charity in 2008.  Joe is the inspirational little boy who touched people's lives around the country and beyond.  His story of hope and fighting against all the odds with a cheeky smile has made what could have been the worse of times the best of times.

 Our aim is to raise awareness of Joe’s story and inspire people to raise money for their chosen charity, to promote the paddle as a community event for people of all abilities and within five years to have 50 paddles and to raise £50,000 for various charity’s.
