In a moment of madness someone at work spotted I had an interest in rowing and I was signed up for the Windermere Row as part of the npower 10 for 10 support to Macmillan Cancer.

Having signed up, I have subsequently found out that the Olympic high speed lightweight Fours shown on the office posters are more like beaten- up fixed seat wooden bathtubs.

Oh well it's for a great cause anyway so anyone wishing to sponsor me for my madness would be appreciated.

This can be done through my JustGiving page.
