CHINESE dragon boats raced across York's River Ouse in a fundraising effort for charity.
The teams battled it out in 30ft long boats for the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust, which works to give children with leukaemia the chance of survival.
Money raised goes towards finding bone marrow matches for life-saving transplants.
Teams of up to ten people collected sponsorship, while a collection was carried out among spectators at yesterday's event.
