The Lymphoma Association

Charity Registration No. 1068395

Every hour of every day one person in the UK is diagnosed with lymphatic cancer. Lymphoma is the sixth most common cancer, but many people are unaware of it until diagnosed. The Lymphoma Association is the only UK charity specialising in information and support for patients and their families. We offer a freephone helpline 0808 808 5555 as well as free literature. Our services are available free of charge to people with lymphoma. We rely on donations from the public in order to keep our services running.

My story

It's been a couple of years since our last big charity fund raising event ....so we thought it was time we took to the river again in aid of a good cause.

We've chosen to row from Wallingford, through Goring and Pangbourne to the Oratory Boathouse at Mapledurham....a trip of 10+ miles. We're hoping to encourage as many people as possible to take part .

The challenge starts at the Oxford Brookes / Oxford University boathouses in Wallingford. We aim to row non-stop, passing through 3 locks on the way, Cleeve, Goring and Pangbourne before reaching our destination. Obviously we'll be expecting some rousing support from the public along the way...

Our aim is to arrive back at the Oratory boathouse by mid afternoon in time for a BBQ and party - a way to thank everyone who has taken part, and to celebrate the life of Jeff Cronyn who sadly passed away in December.

For full details see - http://www.goringgapbc.org.uk/Sponsored_Row_2009.htm

We raised over £4000 at our last sponsored row in 2007..... we're aiming a little higher this time - £5k+. Every pound given can help to make a lasting difference so please give generously and invite your friends and work colleagues to help out too.

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Lymphoma Association gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
