I have trouble rowing in a straight line without hitting other river users, banks or bridges so rowing the 31 mile marathon from Lincoln to Boston is definately going to be a challenge!

Looking after my Mum as she struggled with Cancer was the biggest challenge of my life though, and I couldn't have done it without the Hayward House Hospice in Nottingham where she spent much of her time being expertly cared for by a team of very committed people.

This is for her, and for them. I hope every penny I raise will help them to continue providing such invaluable support.

Thank you for your donations-please dig deep!

Oh...and wish me luck...I need it!
