My Story, Your Challenge

I'm nearly 77, and I needed to set myself a target. 77 rowing sessions in a year seemed like the perfect challenge. But then I thought - why stop there?

           

What if I could find 77 challengers by the New Year?

Each Supporting the Charity of their Choice

 

What if each of those 77 found 7 more? Together, we could create something extraordinary.
