Date: | 21/07/2018 |
I have known Caitlin now for almost four years and have seen how passionate she is in regards to raising awareness and money to support MDS UK. Her passion is contagious and I felt compelled to add to the cause.
I am a StandUpPaddleBoard (SUP) Yoga Instructor and offer a very therapeutic approach to learning how to SUP and do SUP Yoga. The experience is very empowering and fits in nicely in with raising money and awareness for a charity close to everyone's heart! Since I am a Starboard SUP Yoga Team Ambassador, Starboard UK also kindly loaned us state of the art boards to support getting as many people out as possible on the day.
The day involved taking out three different groups or waves for 1.5 hours with a 1/2 hour change over for those who just finished to enjoy some tea and cake and to cheer on the next wave or group that is going out. The joy easily transferred from one group to the next! It was wonderful to witness and feel the joy shared amongst the participants. Over 30 people paddled and contributed to the effort on the day.
All the Best,
We are incredibly grateful to Dee and Gareth and all their friends and sponsors for their support.
Thanks to you we are able to support MDS Patients and their loved ones at those critical moments when anxiety strikes.
We provide a 1-2-1 helpline opened 5 days a week, organise local meetings and maintain an updated website and Facebook Group, among other activities. Thanks for making this possible.
