The site of the Lea RC's Boathouse is leased from the London Borough of Hackney...a lease which is set to expire in the next few years. However, the club has the opportunity to secure the lease for the next 99 years by redeveloping the facility to ensure greater community use. But...to do this, money must be raised.
To help with the fundraising, a few of the LeaRC rowers, have taken on the ambitious goal of rowing over 100km from the Lea Boathouse in East London to Henley.
We plan on completing the row in 3 days, and after battling tides, locks and the occasional narrowboat, will arrive in Henley during Henley Royal Regatta, to paddle triumphantly down the course!
You can see our team fundraising target on the right. Your donation will help us smash this goal....and will keep us powering along the river as our muscles and brains start to hurt!
Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
