It's a really tough challenge to skiff or paddle 27 miles when we normally do sprints of 200-700m or a rare 7km long distance event. It will be hard to bear, full of blisters and pain.

We are very proud to be fundraising for a great local charity that's dedicated to end of life care. Thames Hospice has a beautiful centre in Windsor full of amazing staff are dedicated to provide specialist end of life care services at the hospice or in patients homes.

If our pain can alleviate some of theirs ...then please help them by donating to our Marathon event. Thank you.
