19th - 20th September 2015
These are the dates of the Thames River Row, our fundraising event. It is our common goal to - over the course of these two (long) days - row over 75 miles.
As young, motivated and volunteering athletes, we (the whole of Hampton School Boatclub) are taking part in this annual event in a joint effort by the Thames Rowing community to support a very worthwhile, local and relevant charity to us as teenagers who go to school just round the corner from one of the charity's excellent care centers.
Shooting Star's aim is to make every day count for local families with a child or teenager by providing care services such as:
- Symptom management and paediatric care.
- Supporting families with advice, counselling and therapies.

Our input, on the other hand, is a little more... strenuous, let's say. The
Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page, all and any support or publicity is very greatly appreciated by us rowers, the charity and those supported by Shooting Star ®
