Story

UPDATE: This event has been postponed from 26th June to 24th July 2021 due to government restrictions not being lifted on 21st June. Thank you for your understanding.

As we emerge from the life changing world that the Covid-19 pandemic brought upon us, we are entering into another world to host our first sponsored charity event to raise money to support Fulham Reach Boat Club's vital project work to improve lives through rowing.

FRBC gives access to rowing to a cross section of our community, especially those who are most in need because of financial hardship or social circumstances and help them realise their full potential both on and off the water. Your donation will not only spur the FRBC Sponsored Erg Marathon team on but will most importantly fund FRBC's state school rowing programmes, boats not bars prisons project and our holiday hunger summer activity courses at a time when they need it most.

45 of our intrepid rowers, from our junior and adult membership, will be taking on this "out of this world" experience and rowing to the International Space Station and back, a mere 800km, in 5 hours, that's 18km each! No small step for each rower but a giant leap for FRBC!

Thank you so much for getting behind our team mission to the International Space Station., your support means so much to us. To infinity and beyond!
