Ok guys and girls,
It is the time of year where everyone is buying presents for loved ones/children. I appreciate money is tight, but any amount that can be donated will be much appreciated.
I am doing a challenge called the GradPike. It is a challenge in 2014 to kayak the length of the three longest lakes in the Lake District, in under 12 Hours.
The charity we are raising for is called The Supporters Club, a charity run by BT (my employer) that works closely with comic relief to help disadvantaged children across the U.K as well as worldwide.
I am aiming to raise as much money as possible, so as previously said, anything will be much appreciated towards this great cause.
My Donate page can be found at: https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/grantbetts1
Many thanks!

Thats an impressive task but I've been disadvantaged all my life and nobody has done anything about it.

Yeah very! I mean the road hugs the shore of Windermere and even late at night it takes me a good 45 minutes of hoon to get from Newby Bridge at the south end to Ambleside at the north. Might even come along and shout encouraging stuff from the shore.

But from a different perspective; I have had a fortunate upbringing, by a good family in a MEDC country. There are children out there from LEDC's or abusive backgrounds that are not as fortunate as me. I am just trying to give back.

So to bring this to surface;
I set off for this challenge in just over a week now. Its no easy challenge, but nothing compared to what children are going through on a daily basis across the world. If you could find it within yourself to donate to this cause, it will be incredibly warmly welcomed.

On a shallower note, rep will be awarded
Thanks guys x

So I set off for this in just over 1 Day now.
I would like to say a massive thank you to those who have sponsored me so far! I have a little way to go. If you could find it within yourself to sponsor me in this event, then that would be ever so kind
