The Prize

One of our gold medal winning Slalom Canoeists ETIENNE STOTT or JOE CLARKE will be your host for this unique event. This is the awesome thrill-seeking opportunity to go white water rafting down the Olympic Course at Lee Valley and see if you and your raft can beat the course record.

In September 2021; a group of GB Canoeists and Raft Guides are going to set a course record for your raft to attempt to beat on the day and enter the Legacy 300 Rafting Hall of Fame.

The day starts with an insight from one of the GB Athletes on their medal success, you also get to pose for photos that are printed and signed for a unique souvenir. Then we had you over to your guides. After safety briefing and swimming practice throughout the afternoon you will have another 80 minutes of exhilarating rafting fun.

You will go through a variety of runs on the course, including three fast runs, one timed for possible medal glory. Other runs involve other aspects of rafting on rapid waters, leaving you with an experience that provides a great work out.

You are aiming to beat the time set by the GB Raft, and can help your task by accruing time bonuses through your fundraising.

Wherever you finish, you get a souvenir signed an actual GB gold medallist and a photo signed by the athlete capturing that once in a lifetime moment.

The GB Medallist will be in touch pre-event to outline how you can get friends, colleagues and family to help generate more time bonuses if you wish to get them to support you and the good cause. As for the day itself, spectators are welcome and its open to rowers aged 13 years and above with dates to choose from each Autumn and Spring.

The Cause

Ava Helene Atkinson was born on May 26, 2014, but because she was born so early, she experienced many health issues.

Ava was moved to the neo-natal unit where she was put on a ventilator to help her breathe. Hours later, Ava’s condition had not improved, and after discussions with the consultant it was decided that due to the severity of the health issues she had, we as parents had to make the most devastating decision of our lives, together with the care team, to withdraw treatment. Minutes after coming off the ventilator Ava passed away peacefully with her family around her.

Whilst at the hospital we were given a keepsake box in which we were able to have memories of Ava. These precious memories are there for us to look at and cherish. Her keepsake box has brought comfort to us all, so much so that we have decided we would like to put together our own memory boxes for other parents who have suffered the loss of a child.

We have decided to make these keepsake boxes ourselves and hope that these boxes will be looked at for years to come.
