The document summarizes the 2011 Marykirk Raft Race event which raises money for charity. It discusses the 17 rafts that participated in the race with placement results. Additional awards were given for best dressed raft and crew. Over £6,000 was raised in total, with half given to CHAS, a charity that supports families of children with life-limiting conditions. The event thanks the many volunteers and sponsors that helped make it a success and encourages others to join the committee to help with planning next year's race.

Rachel House in Kinross, Scotland’s first children’s hospice, opened in March 1996. Robin House in Balloch opened in August 2005. Both hospices are purpose-built and each can provide ongoing support for up to 200 families across Scotland each year.
