Keynsham & District Mencap
Claire White & The Beared Dragons
The challenge was set; race a boat, 250 metres on the Bristol dock to raise money for Keynsham and District Mencap. Just to make it a bit more of a challenge we decided to do it in beards!!
 
Keynsham and District Mencap Society (Charity Registration No 275561) is a community based, self funding charity affiliated to National Mencap. They support in the region of 150 adults and children with learning and or physical disabilities to access regular social, leisure, sporting and respite opportunities in and around the Keynsham and Bristol area.

An early start and a quick lesson on rowing were followed by a look around at other more musclely teams quickly before we took to the water. The red fog of competitiveness descended as the morning fog lifted and we set off getting very wet and losing our voices in the process. Our final race time of 01:30 sec meant that we came 14th out of 31 boats.

Well, what a day Sunday turned out to be! Raising more than £3,100 for Keynsham and District Mencap was incredible and will make a huge difference. Thank you for your support and sponsorship.
