The RVCBC crew complete the 100km-in-a day charity
Massive congratulations to the RVC rowing team, who completed a 100km charity row from Reading to London.
At approximately 0500 on the 6th May 2015, a crew of eight rowers and a cox embarked on the row of a lifetime, to cover one hundred kilometres of the River Thames from Reading Boat Club in Berkshire to their home boat club, the United Hospitals Boat Club, in Chiswick, London in a single day.
Hayley Edwards, Mia Seber, Kristen Holland, Sam Hornsey, Ian Firth, Fraser Hudson, Max Shuster and Alan Johnson made it in one piece, 14 hrs later, arriving at 2000.
Their aim was to raise money for Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital and they have so far raised almost £2,000. The cox and support crew could absolutely not be more proud. They were blistered, sore and exhausted but they never gave up!
Well done to the whole team from all at the RVC!
