Some people have called us insane, but you can call us <span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #ff3399; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Chann&ecirc;l No. 7.</span></strong></span></p> <p>We will be the first female only crew to row a 'Thames Waterman Cutter' from England to France. It's approximately 24miles or 33km.&nbsp;The current record is 3 hours which we intend to have a jolly good crack at - in for a penny and all that.</p> <p>Along with our gym training we have got a 12 week 'on the water' training programme to follow and a minimum of &pound;12,000 to raise for the AHOY charity. My calculator tells me that's &pound;1,000 a week. Please give generously as it's for an excellent cause which we've seen&nbsp;first hand and&nbsp;truly believe in.</p> <p>Please, please remember to 'Gift Aid' your donation.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> </div> </div>
