PAUL, JOHN, CHOPPER, RODDY AND MURRAY SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THEIR CHALLENGE AND ARE EXHAUSTED BUT HAPPY.

FUNDRAISING EVENT - A 2 DAY, 80 MILE CANOE TRIP DOWN THE RIVER TWEED.
ON SATURDAY/SUNDAY 17TH/18TH JULY 2010
FROM GALASHIELS TO BERWICK - BY MEMBERS OF TOURETTE SCOTLAND.
Five members of Tourette Scotland - Paul Stevenson, Stuart Colquhoun and John Davidson, ably supported by Roddy Gladstone and Murray Gladstone will be undertaking an 80 mile canoe trip down the River Tweed from Galashiels to Berwick on 17th/18 July 2010. Training has already started and the lads are looking to raise as much money as they can - PLEASE SUPPORT THEM.
This can be done by going to their JustGiving page via the following link:
www.justgiving.com/tweedcanoetrip
The funds raised by the canoe trip will go towards supporting those families living with Tourette Syndrome in the Borders of Scotland/England. Dot Achenbach of the Borders Group said: "With the funds raised, the Borders Support Group will be able to support some 50 families, with mentoring, respite, outings, support and advice. We will be able to offer awareness training in schools, colleges and employment; a vital step in giving our children a good grounding for their futures. We will give our families a break from their daily lives through the provision of holidays and events. It is often difficult for our families to either afford or be welcome at holiday centres, and the funds can ensure that they can choose a safe, secure and comfortable place to relax and enjoy a holiday just as others do."
