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. Which better way I thought than try
to raise some money for Young at Heart. Firstly can I say we had such a
fanastic time, I would highly recommend this sport to anyone who enjoys
outdoor acivities 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 faclities 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 insturctor 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 personaly 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. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Love Mandy, Bailey, Kc
