I am delighted to have completed my challenge of rowing a traditional Cutter from the Thames Barrier to Vintners' Hall in support of the Vintners' Foundation and the swan charities it supports.

It was a memorable and demanding journey, made all the more worthwhile by the incredible encouragement and generosity of so many people. My heartfelt thanks go to our Swan Uppers, John Sage and London Youth Rowing, our support crews, and everyone who has followed the challenge and donated.

While the row is complete, our fundraising continues. I would be hugely grateful for any further support to help the Vintners' Foundation continue its vital work with the charities that care for one of the Thames' most iconic treasures.

Every donation, however large or small, will make a real difference.

Thank you for your kindness and support!
