My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I've volunteered to row 13 miles on Lake WIndermere on 16th May to raise money for the Caravan charity, which helps those living on or below the bread line who have worked in the grocery industry. 
I'm joined in the boat by 5 other plucky rowers and our aim is to help Caravan to raise  £100,000 in this year's WIndermere row.

Think Titantic rather than Steve Redgrave winning Gold - but we're assured the lake isn't very deep and that anyone can do this after a few pints and, of course, a Holland's Pie! 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Grocers Benevolent Fund T/A Caravan 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.

Thanks for sponsoring me (rubber rings, armbands, wet suits also welcome)

Neil.
