Reed Smith's Real Estate group will be participating in the annual Oarsome Challenge - 16-mile unique rowing challenge from Greenwich to Chiswick. We will be participating with our client, Art-Invest, together with other crews from the real estate industry.

We are raising money for London Youth Rowing, which is a fantastic charity helping to change young lives for the better.

LYR believe sport changes lives and should be available to all, regardless of background, gender, ethnicity or otherwise.

LYR use rowing as a tool to get young people active and learning crucial life skills, necessary for success in the classroom and workplace. Rowing offers an opportunity to enjoy sport outside of traditional school activities and nurtures qualities like determination and resilience.

From Hounslow to Barking and Dagenham, LYR's outreach programmes work with over 70 schools and around 9000 young people each year.
