Canoeing On The River Trent

It was 2002 when Stephen first paddled on the Trent. He has since paddled his Arcadia canoe 24 miles down the river Wye to help me celebrate my 60th birthday. On June 7th 2008 he paddled from the water sports centre at "Holme Pierrepoint" Nottingham up the river Trent to what is known locally as the Penny Bridge,
(Old Toll Bridge) and back again to "Holme Pierrepoint". Stephen did this to help publicize Down's Syndrome Awareness Week in the UK in 2008 and, at the same time, he helped to raise money for "Maggie's Centre" a much-needed cancer specialist unit.
