Thames Kayak Challenge

On the 18th September, a group of supporters will be tackling the Thames in double kayaks to raise money for The Change Foundation's Visually Impaired Rugby programme.

Starting in Greenwich, the kayakers will begin their 20-mile journey heading along the Thames finishing at the home of rugby in Twickenham, in just six hours!

The Kayakers will not only need to muster up all their physical strength but also their mental strength to get them to the finish line.
