Colleagues from Weil and Olswang have teamed up to raise money for Richard House in this year’s Jubilee Great River Race, an annual event on the River Thames attracting over 300 boats. Richard House is a Children's Hospice we do projects for, in Newham, east London, providing free care and support for families and their life-limited children and children with complex healthcare conditions during their journey at end-of-life. The Richard House website can be viewed here with further information about their mission, how they have touched the lives of these families and “Where Your Money Goes”: http://www.richardhouse.org.uk/  

 

In addition to chipping in ourselves, our team will row/paddle/flail 21 miles in the race in fancy dress in aid of this very good cause. We would be  grateful if you could help sponsor us, and we have provided a convenient means of doing so on-line at the following link:

Our goal as a team is to raise £20,000 for Richard House, who depend on outside funding for a large portion of their £3.1 million of annual operating expense. The Race is on Saturday, 15 September. Win or lose, we will all have helped the families who use Richard House.
