On February 9th this year I unfortunately lost my best friend to cancer, my dog, Scamp.   He was diagnosed and put to sleep the same day as it had spread all over his body.  

He came to work with me every day, so for pretty much all of his 7 years he was with me.   Grief isn’t something that just goes away but by (hopefully) completing this challenge I will be in control of it rather than it being in control of me.  

This is why I want to do something to hopefully help other animals in a similar situation in the future.   

So, on September 18th I will be doing 12 x 1 hour rows at Cumbria Strength and Conditioning over the course of 24 hours.  If it goes to plan it will be the equivalent of rowing 3 marathons in 24 hours.  Hopefully I can raise the target, which will spur me on during the challenge!!!   

To be honest if I don’t raise £33,000,000 and get a knighthood I’ll be disappointed.   Any donation would be hugely appreciated!!!!  Thanks for reading. 

RIP Scamp.
