THE CHARITIES
We are rowing to raise funds for charities close to our hearts.
Our ultimate aim is to bring people together for the greater good and raise vital funds for good causes.
We are hoping to fully fund our race entrance with personal funds and corporate sponsorship allowing us to use all personal donations from friends, family, colleagues and smaller corporate amounts to donate to three charities below.
