‘We are all in the same storm, but we are not in the same boat!’ - I recently heard this quote which I really love as it holds so much truth.

In the midst of all that is currently going on in the world, we are deeply aware that in spite of the uncertainty and potential fears we struggle with, that there are numerous others who are really struggling with so much more. 

As a family, we have therefore decided to somehow make a difference and to raise money for HOPE Worldwide by collectively rowing half a marathon every day in the month of May. By the end of the month, we would have rowed the approximate  equivalent of River Thames and River Severn (700km) and look forward to enjoying the beautiful landscape in our minds, using our imagination on our indoor rowing machine😊

This is a feat; an adventure that we are excited and apprehensive to undertake as a family (Ben & I and our 3 children aged 16, 13 & 9).  We know that it will not be easy but are committed to this journey as we choose to remember those who are in so much more challenging situations. We would be very grateful for your support and encouragement and look forward to sharing our voyage with you.
