Story

In memory of James Male (Cheeki Rafiki). James was an ex-student at Sparsholt College, studying Outdoor Education. James was passionate about the outdoors. James' peers and the staff at the college were very fond of him. The Outdoor Education team at Sparsholt College would like to show their support by giving something back and remembering James. The challenge that they face is that of a gruelling one. The team are racing in the hope to paddle from Devizes to Westminster covering 126 miles non-stop. The Devizes to Westminster challenge is held over the Easter weekend (3rd-6th April 2015). The aim of the race is to complete it non stop as quickly as possible. In order for the team to undertake this mammoth challenge, their training has already begun. They are currently training 5days a week both on the water and the Kayak Ergometer. It would be very much appreciated if you could all show your support by donating a small token to contribute to such a wonderful cause.
