The motivation for the trip is not only the 1000 mile challenge but also to raise much needed funds for the registered charity - Share Centre.
In 2011 SHARE will celebrate 30 years of providing outdoor activity programmes which promote inclusion between disabled & non-disabled people.
Elaine ‘Shooter’ Alexander is a well-known personality within Irish canoeing circles with recognised pedigree. Elaine, a keen canoeist for nearly 20 years, has successfully combined a career as an outdoor pursuits instructor at SHARE along with competing in local, national and international canoeing events.
A long list of qualifications demonstrate Elaine’s competence, currently a British Canoe Union Level 3 Sea, Surf and Inland Coach and Aspirant Level 5 Canoe Coach. This measure of competence is coupled with a competitive streak which reached its pinnacle in 2005 and 2007 when representing Northern Ireland at the Surf Kayak World Championships in Costa Rica and Mundaka respectively.
Yesterday she reached Burtonport on Monday and Magheraroarty last night- the end is in sight now and she is set to complete on Tuesday ! To keep up-to-date with Shooter and see her journey so far visit canoearoundireland.com !
