The Myton Hospice Boat Race

On the 16 Sept 2018, a team from Crossfit Leamington will be entering a team in the Stratford Upon Avon 2018 Dragon Boat Race. 

Teams compete in Dragon Boats, which are 40ft long Chinese war canoes fitted with ornately carved dragon's heads and tails. Crews of up to 17 people sit in pairs and paddle to compete in multiple timed races. Each boat has a drummer beating time to keep the paddlers in unison, and a professional helmsperson in the stern to guide the boat.

The races will run throughout the day over a short course of around 250 metres. Each race is timed and every team is given a guaranteed (weather permitting) 3 timed races during the day. The team’s single best time over all 3 of those races is then used for qualification into the final round using all the available dragon boats in one last race.

Please help us become the champions and raise money for a great local charity that is really making a difference in the community 

We will be entering the race to raise money for the Myton Hospice.

At The Myton Hospices, we believe that everyone matters for every single moment of their life; we focus on enhancing life when cure is no longer an option.

We are leaders in compassionate end of life care; our work centres on patient wellbeing and involving them in decisions about their care. Perhaps most importantly we give our patients more quality time with their loved ones.   

We have to raise £9.6 million this year to continue providing our care. We can’t do it without people like you.
 
Last year we supported more than 1,400 people and their families, in our three hospices, via our patient and family support services, and in the community through Myton at Home.
