SEPTEMBER IS HERE
AND WITH IT COMES
THE SUPER SEPTEMBER
120 MILE CHALLENGE!
Join in and challenge yourself to cover 120 miles throughout the
month and raise money for Stand Up To Cancer at the same time!
100% of the money you raise for Stand Up To Cancer
will go towards generating game-changing, life-saving
treatments.
Stand Up To Cancer is an annual fundraising campaign
which provides funding for Cancer Research UK
scientists to take their developments in the labs and
accelerate them into brand new tests and treatments
for cancer patients who need them right now.

How Can You Take Part?
To achieve this fantastic mileage you would need
to paddle an average of four miles per day. It’s easy to get involved; you can take part in any boat,
at any location. You can choose to paddle the full
mileage in one day or clock up the mileage over the
month. You can do all the miles as an individual or you
can complete this challenge collectively as a group.
Just so you know, 120 miles is:
ROUGHLY THE
SAME DISTANCE
BETWEEN HOLME PIERREPONT AND
LEE VALLEY WHITE WATER CENTRE.
COVERED BY A SELF
DRIVING TRUCK.

BUDWEISER IN COLORADO.
TWO MILES
How you choose to complete this challenge is
entirely up to you. All you need to do is paddle
the grand total of 120 miles during the month of
September and register your achievement with us.
This challenge runs alongside our partnership
with Stand Up To Cancer, which sees
celebrities pairing with cancer survivors
to paddle 120 miles over five days.
If you don’t fancy clocking up all those miles then
why not check out all the other fantastic spectator
events taking place throughout the month here.
Get your friends and family to sponsor you for taking
on this epic challenge and know that every stroke
you take and every pound you raise you are helping
scientists make some absolutely rock star discoveries.
LONGER THAN
THE M25.
WITHOUT ALL THE TRAFFIC
JAMS YOU CAN PROBABLY
COVER THE DISTANCE
FASTER BY BOAT!
That includes everything from tricking tumours into
pickling themselves from the inside with formaldehyde,
to gamma rays that zap cancer from every angle!
A Little Breakdown…
