My story

Hello everyone, Well we did it. We rowed just over 50km ( 31miles) in the Boston Marathon and it took us 5hrs 44 minutes. We DID end up with very sore bums and blistered hands despite efforts but the madness and agonies were worth while and thanks so much to all of you who have sponsored us so far for Child Victims of Crime. This will make a difference. For full details of the Boston Marathon, you can visit the web site http://www.bostonrowingmarathon.org.uk/ The web site will remain open for a while so if anyone of your friends/family are impressed by our efforts and would like to donate to Child Victims of Crime , don't hesitate......... Thanks very much in advance for any further contributions. Mel
