PADS have CANCELLED their trip

Update posted by Natalie Khoury

Dear PADS supporters; It is with great regret that we have to inform you PADS have CANCELLED their trip on safety grounds due to the civil unrest in Hong Kong. It’s too much of a risk for them to visit at this time. It has been announced by the organisers that the event is cancelled this weekend please see here on their website https://hkidbr.sportsoho.com/en. PADS are understandably very sad that they can’t make it and would like me to extend their gratitude to all of you for your generous donations . They will be racing at the World Championships in Thailand this August and will also plan to visit Hong Kong for the Internationals next year. Right now we are looking at what the next steps are regarding the funds raised via this page. We have reached out to GoFundMe for their advice and we will update you once we hear back from them. We have been humbled by what the paddling community and PADS supporters from far and wide have been able to achieve over the last 48 hours. It's truly remarkable that we could raise so much money in such a short space of time. It's testament to the selfless nature of each and every one of you and for this we thank you. Much Love, David, Natalie, Jeanette and all at Seagods x
