I am going to be kayaking from Hull to Warrington, a total of nearly 100 miles in memory of my Dad. 

He loved all animals and so, I want to do something to help the dogs at the RSPCA centre in Warrington. 

My wife, Kei, and I volunteer at the centre and have witnessed the fantastic work they do and we love to see the difference a few weeks of love and care can make to their lives. 

We have adopted Max (formerly named Michael), a staffie who was abandoned by his owner. Through no fault of his own, he had to spend over a year in kennels. The staff at the centre gave him lots of love and we decided we had to take him home to be a little brother for our other dog, Diesel. 

Max will be joining me on my challenge and we have already got him kitted out in his life jacket. 

The RSPCA Warrington is a cruelty case boarding centre. This means that the animals in their care have been removed by Inspectors due to neglect or abuse. They are cared for by their team of staff and volunteers until the prosecution cases come to an end. Once the cases are concluded the animals are signed over and they can begin the process of finding them a permanent and loving home. It can take time and patience due to the severe neglect and cruelty they have experienced.

I want to help, give these dogs a brighter future by raising money and awareness so, they can help more dogs have a second chance. 

I will begin my journey on Sunday 18th September, which would have been my Dad's 81st birthday. I plan to finish around 1pm on Saturday 24th September. 

I will travelling for 6 days and sleeping overnight in my tent alongside the canals I'm travelling through. I will be kayaking for around 8 hours per day and travelling roughly 17 miles per day to achieve my target.
It is going to be an extremely challenging journey but I know my Dad will be proud of me and I hope to raise plenty of money for the RSPCA and the dogs they care for.
