Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Sport relief are a fantastic organisation because everybody who takes part WINS! The people who donate know that their money will be spent well on the most vulberable in society all over the world; the people doing the fundraising get the satisfaction of achieving something they may not ordinarily do; and most importantly some of the most at risk in communities all over the world receive vital support.</p> <p>As I've been a keen rower for many years I decided to encourage a number of fellow rowers to join in with me and break the 24 hour distance records on the indoor rowing machine in 3 different age categories. 3 teams of 2 rowers will be doing this challenge, each team covering a distance of over 300km. In addition there will be a sprint challenge taking place, where people can pay to enter. The winners of this event will receive a prize......hopefully donated by a &nbsp;generous company (hint, hint!) The event takes place on 23rd and 24th June at Salford Quays, which ties in with the Olympic Torch's arrival in the city.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now. If you have a non-cash donation to act as a prize or will &nbsp;help support the event in some way please email me at markjyparsons@hotmail.com .</p>
