Kilcullen Canoe Club is hosting a Paddle 4 Ukraine fundraising event on Saturday, March 19.
The aim is to paddle a collective total of 981 kilometres — which is the length of the Dnieper river that flows through Ukraine.
The club is calling on kayakers across Ireland to participate, and for their friends and families to sponsor them via the Irish Red Cross idonate page: www.idonate.ie/Paddle4Ukraine

The Dnieper or Dnipro is the longest river in Ukraine and the fourth-longest river in Europe.
