Story
We're taking part in Race The Thames Virtual 2022 - join us to bust the winter blues! Race The Thames is the annual fundraising event run by London Youth Rowing (LYR). The money raised will be used to help support LYR's work in London and Leeds. LYR's programmes allow young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to take part in rowing, giving them the benefit of participating in the sport and allowing them to fulfil their potential. The gallery below shows the impact LYR's work has for young people. We will also be supporting The Edward Foundation, with 50% of the total funds raised to go to their work. The Edward Foundation is a rescue bulldog charity who spend all of their time rescuing bulldogs from risk of abuse or being used as a commodity, they also help families who have to give up their beloved pets and simply want to know they are being rehomed sensibly and responsibly.
To complete the challenge, our team of 8 will be racing the distance of the Thames by rowing, running or cycling 346km in a week
The virtual event will take place between 24th - 31st Jan. Wish us luck!
