    Story

    On Thursday 13th April, I will be taking part in a fundraising rowing challenge called the Thames 100 for the second year in a row. This is a fundraiser in which Fulham Reach Boat Club (The club I row for) organises every year where multiple schools that they work with row 100 miles from oxford university trinity college back to Fulham in a relay that lasts one week (10th and 13th April). They do this to fundraise money to promote rowing in more state schools so that more children in London can see what rowing is like and learn the basics of rowing on the river, which is an opportunity not everybody has the chance to have.

    Personally, I believe that rowing is an amazing sport that can develop skills such as teamwork and confidence and develop character within you, making you a better version of yourself. I have seen this change in myself as I’ve rowed for the past 2 years, and believe that it can bring about that development in many more children if they learn how to row which can also inspire them to go on to create rowing clubs in their own schools and hopefully go on to compete in Regattas.

    I will be participating in the last 25 miles in a team of 8 made up of other pupils at my school on Thursday 13TH April. We will be in two teams of 4 that will be finishing at the boathouse. You can track the boat through GPS using the following link:

    Please share the link with any friends and family so that we can raise as many funds as possible.

    Thank you for your patronage.
