Annual expeditions for Diabetes UK
Ohio River Paddlefest
Most of us know Adrian Angell best for his active participation in the SUP racing scene in the Midwest , especially with his role in one of the biggest races in the area , the Ohio River Paddlefest . Before becoming the race director seven years ago , the Ohio River Quest had special significance as Adrian ’ s very first SUP race .
Raising money for Diabetes UK
Although a US resident since 1995 , Adrian is originally from Cumbria and wanted to give back in his home country . On his niece ’ s suggestion with Type 1 Diabetes , Adrian ’ s first challenge fundraising paddle was crossing the English Channel . Next came the Great Glen Race in Scotland , and then most of the lakes in the Lake District ( see page xx . Because of COVID , his most recent expedition was 50 miles on the Ohio River here in the US , but he is already making plans for his next UK paddle . Photo below : Stephen Angell
