Documentary

The aim of the documentary is multifaceted; it
intends to raise awareness of what life can be
like with Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis,
and to inspire ordinary people to embark on
adventure, no matter how big or small, or what
hurdles you may have to jump in order to make
your dreams become a reality.
You can watch the trailer below and keep your
eyes peeled for the release of the full film – we
hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed
making it (one of my many firsts on the trip).

As our training sessions went on, we began
to realise that this is a story that needs
sharing and felt a documentary would be the
perfect way of doing this.

After a serendipitous sea kayaking training
session with Erin Bastian at The Ladies
Paddle Symposium, she very kindly offered
to join us on our adventure up in Scotland to
film the expedition from start to finish.

Kayaking has not only been a
rehabilitative tool; it has also
allowed childhood me and
adult me to meet, physically
and mentally. I feel I have
discovered my inner explorer,
from the days of tipis and
hay-bale dens. Kayaking has
allowed me to be reborn.
This is the beginning of a
lifetime of adventure.
