In November 2018, a group of parents of children who have received life changing treatment from The Royal Children’s Hospital Neurology team and friends are attempting to set a new Guinness World Record by paddling a dragon boat 600kms in 4 days along the Murray River, with the hope of raising over $200,000 to support the hospital’s neuroimaging service.

The current Guinness World Record of 545.56 kilometres for the longest recorded dragon boat journey was set on the Missouri River in the USA in 2010.
