Well done Brian!!!

We are all so proud of you!!! and we are all delighted with our own individual times too:

Val: 3 hours 04 min

Gael: 3 hours 07 min 57 seconds

The public and hospital staff support has been amazing and bucket collection on the day has proved very successful.

Thanks to all my collegues at the North West Lung Centre and Jan at the Fundraising Department, the event ran very smoothly!

The ARA has even posted about it on their website: http://www.ara-rowing.org/

If you would like to sponsor us, it is still possible and would be wonderful!

Thank You
