Welcome to The Big Paddle! We are a group of friends taking on a crazy challenge down the Thames to remember our dear friend Sarah Whittle Dilworth, who we sadly lost last in 2022. Sarah was an absolute gem, and this paddle is our way of keeping her spirit alive while doing some good for breast cancer awareness.

So, picture this: we’re paddling 40 miles over three days along the Thames, camping out at night like true adventurers. It’s not just about the miles; it’s about the memories we’re making and the cause we’re supporting.

This isn’t a one-off thing. We want The Big Paddle to become a yearly tradition, growing bigger and better each time. More paddlers, more funds raised, more love spread in Sarah’s name.

You don’t need to be a pro paddler to join us—just bring your enthusiasm and a love for good vibes! Whether you’re paddling with us or cheering from the sidelines, every bit of support counts.
