UCLBC 48 hour Row-a-Thon in association with Cancer Research UK
Fundraising for University College London Students Union
Story
Donations will be managed and administered by the UCL Student Union
Our club is hosting the UCLBC 48 hour Row-a-thon this season to raise money for Cancer Research UK and our Boat Club. It will take place in Covent Garden Market from the 8th of December to the 10th of December.
Why are we hosting the Row-a-thon?
We are fundraising for Cancer Research UK, and UCLU. Cancer Research UK is a cancer research and awareness charity. Its aim is to reduce the number of deaths from cancer. As the world's largest independent cancer research charity it conducts research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Research activities are carried out in institutes, universities and hospitals across the UK, both by the charity's own employees and by its grant-funded researchers. It also provides information about cancer and runs campaigns aimed at raising awareness of the disease and influencing public policy. However, they cannot provide this on their own which is why we are splitting 50% of our donations with them.
What is a Row-a-thon?
The aim is to accumulate as many kilometers as possible. Rowers will take turns to row continuously, clocking up the kilometers on two rowing machines over the 48-hour period. It’s very tough but rewarding activity and allows our members to give something back to the club and the community.
It would mean the world to us if you could donate to our cause. If you have any enquires, please feel free to contact Navin Keizer at uclbcfundraiser@gmail.com
