DEVIZES-WESTMINSTER CANOE RACE
Congratulations, well done and thank you to John Keevill
(son-in-law of Chris Chisholm) who took part in the Devizes-Westminster Canoe Race over the Easter weekend and
raised a total of £125 for the Trust. This race is normally for professionals, however, John's team took part with
NO experience at all, in his words "a bit like Eddie Izzard
taking on 46 marathons in 50 days with only 2 weeks training!".
John has travelled as a volunteer helper on 2 Jumbulance holidays and was keen to raise funds on our behalf.
