White Water Rafting - By member Mandy Pearce
Hi to all the Young at Heart members. I just wanted to tell you a bit about
the water rafting which myself and friends did to raise some money for this
brilliant charity. Ever since my son became a member, I have wanted to show
my support and find some way of thanking the charity for all they have done
for my son (Bailey) over the years. What better way I thought than try to
raise some money for Young at Heart. Firstly can I say we had such a fantastic
time, I would highly recommend this sport to anyone who enjoys outdoor activities
and a sense of adventure. Our water rafting experience took place at the
National White Water Centre in Bala, Wales. The staff, equipment and the
facilities at the centre were excellent. In the 2 hours we got 4 exhilarating
and adrenalin fuelled runs down the steep and rocky mountain river. This
was just amazing and down each run we changed positions in the raft and
got to do different challenges. Our instructor who came down the 4 runs
with us was brilliant. The experience still remains one of the best things
myself and my friends have ever done and we would definitely do it again.
We would just all like to say a big thank you to all our family and friends
who supported and sponsored us. Between the 7 of us we managed to raise
£451. I personally want to say a big thank you to all my friends who made
this possible, my water rafting team Jamie, Emily, Julie, Shaun, Sam and
Faye. I do hope that the money we raise will help in some small way. Love
Mandy, Bailey, Kc xxx
