I am currently following a guelling 26 week training program and have entered the British Indoor Rowing Championships on Sat 9th December at The Olympic Velodrome, Leo Valley Park, London. I have entered the 2000m open race, which will include team GB olympic rowers and aim to finish in the top 20 with a time of sub 6 minutes 30 seconds. I will be raising money to help fund the CJD research unit at The University of Edinburgh after my father passed away from the devastating disease on August 12th last year. The disease is very rare(1 in a million people contract the disease) so there are no official charities and very little funding even though sporadic CJD is on the increase. Any donation no matter how big or small would mean so much! Thank you in anticipation of your kindness and generosity.
