This Sunday, May 16, North Wollongong Christian Surfers will be holding a 15-20km paddle from North Wollongong to Thirroul to raise money for the sponsorship of five children through Compassion Australia.

This is the 10th annual Paddleathon, and the final year in a commitment to see these five kids from impoverished countries the entire way through school. All are welcome to paddle and you can use craft as diverse as SUP's, wave skis and surf rescue boards. Help us show that surfers care!

Meet 7am Wollongong Harbour. For more information contact Aaron Hughes on 04 0367 2452 or [email protected]. //AARON HUGHES
