POINT OF NO RETURN
By Simon Osbourne
A keen kayaker, Simon decided to paddle around the coast of Ireland to raise money for Leukemia Research, because of a promise he made to his brother who died from the disease. One day of his journey will live particularly long in his memory. It was forecasted force seven and he found himself battling against breaking waves and struggling to find a safe place to land.

Emily Morgan
I really enjoyed this, I particularly liked the camera angle as it added real effect and tension. As the audience, I really felt involved in the journey. Well done!

Peter McArdle
Iam sure Simon knows how dangrous the sea is and how proud his brother would be of him. Well done.

Eileen Kenning
Simon, I really liked your video. Good choice of clip as the decison was gripping. What did you fix the camera on? I am glad you did this re luekemia and your brother. My dad had it too. Well done.

Reminds me of canoeing in Algonquin Park Canada- except I did it for pleasure, and he's doing it for a noble cause!
