We are five members of Tudor Sailing Club that are competing in the 2018 great river race on the 8th September,

The Great River Race https://www.greatriverrace.co.uk/ is a 22 mile rowing marathon along the Thames between Millwall and Richmond. We are using the opportunity to raise money for the Portsmouth RNLI Lifeboat http://www.portsmouthlifeboat.co.uk/ which provides life saving cover for the eastern Solent and Langstone Harbour.

The rowing team aged between 14 and 74, consist of Ian DuCane (rowing skulls), Sandy Craig (rowing sweep) and John Elson (rowing stroke), Jay DuCane and Heather Owen are cox and passenger, with assistance of Graham DuCane who is driving the support vehicle.

We are rowing "Freedom", a Bursledon Gig built this year by Ian DuCane in preparation for the race. Our target is to beat the time we set last year of 2hrs 51mins and raise some money for a worthwhile cause.

We would really appreciate your support by making a donation (no matter how small) for this great charity as we attempt this marathon challenge.
