A fun event, open to everyone and all types of wind and muscle powered watercraft, It is run simultaneously at numerous venues nationwide. Whether beginner or expert, entrants are encouraged to set their own challenge for the day, and get as much sponsorship as they can from family, friends and colleagues. It is not intended that everyone should sail all "daylight hours" but to go on the water and have fun with many like-minded sailors. If your venue is able then start at Sunrise - that it is a memorable challenge!

A charity formed by windsurfers to raise cancer awareness and so promote early diagnosis and healthy lifestyles, to reduce the incidence of the disease. And through specific projects raise funds for cancer research, education and support (see Objectives in "about W4CR").
W4CR aims to increase survival rates by educating the public (through the windsurfing fraternity), with an improved understanding of cancer.
Sunrise Sunset 2010 will be on Sunday 2nd May in conjunction with the start of National Windsurfing Week. Feedback on our 2009 event has been overwhelmingly positive, but we know that for 2010, with your help, we can organise an even better and bigger national event. Please register yourself and ask your friends to register too!
Blog
David Tuttlebee continues to write his monthly blog; this provides an account of his experience and the ups and downs of both living with, and seeking to beat cancer. David hopes his blog will provide a degree of support, insight and understanding tothose living with cancer, their families and their friends.
Funding of good causes
The £25,000 target for 2009 was achieved - and the target for 2010 is £50,000!
Thank you to each of you for such fantastic support! All of your effort would count for little if the money weren’t put to good use. The W4CR trustees have been in discussion with a number of good causes, and research teams, and have now allocated the currently available funds as follows:
When the final Gift Aid reclaim funds arrive the trustees will be looking to support further causes that could perhaps be local to some of the fund raising venues around the country.
