Hi friends, Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am going to be rowing around the Western Isles of Scotland for 5 days and nights in August. Which will be completed by up to 12 hours of rowing a day - 2hours on - 2hours off.  I am doing this for a number of reasons. 

The catalyst, and the reason for Scotland is that my Nana passed  away earlier this year, she loved the Western Isles and had many a family holiday there. I want to do this in memory of her, and connect to a place she loved.

I have chosen Great Ormond Street because it was the children's hospital that helped me when I was little, and kept me on this planet with many an operation, care and entertainment.  I have never raised any money for them, and I would like to make this small gesture in recognition and all they continue to do for children with illnesses or care needs.

The challenge will be a beautiful one, and I am really looking forward to it. I think it's only right that I continue to challenge my mind and body as a coach, when I ask it so frequently of others.

Thank you for you love and contributions people!

For those interested in the training side of things. I started my 12 week training plan on 31/05/21. I have had to massively ramp up the long endurance work, which is definitely not what I am used to, normally picking up some heavy things a couple of times.. My hands are already developing some lovely new callouses, and I have now experienced novice knuckles from my brief time on the water. I'll log some of it on my instagram as and when so you will be able to follow bits of it!
