Last year we kayaked for 24 hours and raised over €10,000 for the RNLI. This year we are attempting to kayak 10,780km which is 10km for every Irish RNLI lifeboat that was launched in 2021. We are hoping to raise €1 for every km. Please support us if you can by donating using the link below. https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/Paddle4Life

The RNLI is a phenomenal charity and their volunteers risk their lives to save ours. If the worst happens when we are kayaking then the RNLI will be the first to respond. We are lucky to have so many incredible, lifesaving volunteers in each station.

Please support us in any way. You can support us by donating, following our page, liking and sharing our posts and by telling your friends and family about our challenge. See you on the water.
