Story

The Challenge

On the 8th December Carl & I will be ''Crossing the Channel" on the rowing machines in the gym in Bournemouth. We've been training hard over the last few months and our personal targets to complete the 21.3 mile row are

Jon  - under 3hrs 

Carl  - under 5 hrs (he's only little!).

Why are we doing it!

As some of you are aware, earlier in the year Theo, the son of one of our colleagues, fought hard to overcome some serious complications following his birth. Unfortunately, it was a battle he couldn’t win and Theo passed away after just 3 weeks of life. Carl & I were touched by the battle Theo fought and inspired by the strength shown by his parents so we thought we’d get off our backsides, or rather get on our backsides, and do something to show our support

Who are we doing it for

Theo’s parents have been raising money for the  who helped them so much and the money raised through our toils will go their charity. Please donate as much as you can

 Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
