On the 10th September this year, we will be once again welcoming the Anthony Nolan trust to the National White Water Centre for their annual White Water Rafting fundraising event. Teams of 6 or 7 will ride the rapids and brave the whirlpools on an action-packed adventure that, through the sponsorship they raise, will give people with blood cancer a chance of survival. Each team will have 3 runs, 2 timed and 1 just for fun! The fastest team will win the coveted Anthony Nolan White Water Trophy.
