Sunrise Sunset 2009
The first major fundraising event for Windsurfing 4 Cancer Research (W4CR). This fun event took place on the 3rd May, the Bank Holiday Sunday and included venues across the UK, Ireland and other parts of Europe.

What a day! Various descriptions have been heard "Fantastic", "Monster day", "Emotional" but perhaps the Mayor's observation summed it up well. "Everyone is obviously having fun AND doing something so worthwhile"

Read the Venue reports and also look at the numerous pictures in the Gallery section. You can read David Tuttlebee's report of the day as a "6 hour visitor" in his blog.

The BBC broadcast from Hayling Island is online but please note that the "20 windsurfers" was the number at Sunrise -by midday there were more than 120!  Text and Video

The target to raise £25,000 was exceeded!
