Story

Thank you for visiting the Streetrowing fundraising page. Please dig deep and donate to the British Paralympic Association who support adaptive rowing, paralympic cycling, and other sports for people with disabilities by making it possible for them to get to the games. With your help another athlete could have the opportunity to represent Great Britain at the Beijing Paralympic Games next year and inspire many others to follow.

The first event involved streetrowing over 40 miles from Central London to Henley-on-Thames on Friday 6th July 2007.  This coincides with the Tour de France departure from London and Henley Royal Regatta.

After five hours of streetrowing into an unrelenting 20mph head wind along the busy A4 trunk road, Simon was glad to reach Henley. The target to raise £10,000 for charities is that bit closer and all the support was much appreciated. Other than the shimano cleat on his cycling shoe coming loose there were no technical problems. Please continue to donate on this page. 

Streetrowing combines the full body fitness of rowing with the freedom and accessibility of cycling.  If you would like to participate in a streetrowing charity event please contact us at info@streetrower.com. We aim to make streetrowing accessible to all regardless of physical condition.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Paralympic Association will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
