Story
Reading Rowing Club, in conjunction with the Aspire Human Needs Fund, will be raising money, at a number of events, to purchase an electronic exercise bike (www.berkelbike.com) for our colleague Dave Martin, who's tragically been paralysed in a car accident in 2007.
Prior to the accident Dave enjoyed a very active lifestyle, rowing the atlantic, and taking part in extreme marathons. This bike will make a huge difference to Dave's quality of life, and be a start point for a new phase of Dave's active lifestyle.
Events where Reading Rowing Club members will be competing to raise money for Dave include:
· Reading University Head Race - Saturday February 28
· Womens Head of the River Race - Saturday March 7
· London Head of the River Race - Saturday March 21
· Veterans Head of the River Race - Sunday March 22
· Reading half marathon - Sunday March 29
· Junior 10,000 metre Ergo challenge - Date TBD
