Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Our dragon boat team have come together to support the work of Sutton Mencap. This small local independent charity has been around since the 1940's and aims to improve the lives of children and adults with a learning disability aswell their carers. Over 200 local families are supported through a wide range of play, leisure, learning and respite opportunities. You can read more about what our charity does by clicking on the 'My Charity' button or why not watch their community lipdub video (in the my gallery section below) - it's great fun and gives you an idea of the kind of work they do.

Current team members who will be paddling for us against approx 40 other charities include: Tracey & Chris Glendinning-Smith (nee Hickey), Debbie McIntyre, Sam McIntyre, Simon Sadek, Melinda Banks, Clare Eden, Beckie Bridgewater, Carol Benham, Aaron Burke - so if you are supporting any of them - you are in the right place! If you are supporting the Painter Boys please donate via their page www.justgiving.com/ThePainterBoys and Amena Lloyd via www.justgiving.com/Amena-Lloyd

We do of course also welcome people who would like to support the team in a more sedate way by coming along on the day to cheer us on. The event will be held in Canbury Gardens, Kingston from 10-4 on 9th Sept. Contact tracey@suttonmencap.org.uk for more info.

If you are able to donate, no matter how small it would really help to encourage us and hopefully keep us from going overboard!
