Story

Thank you for showing an interest in my fundraising event.  My aim is to raise £4000 [revised recenlty from £2000] for Cancer Research UK by doing a series of rowing events, both individually and some team events.

Any size donation is welcome, but if you donate £5 or more you can enter my fun competition to win a weekend break for two! 

HOW TO DONATE AND PLAY 

It’s easy to donate and win! 

  • If you are donating less than £5, that’s fine, you do not need to enter a time. 

  • If your donation is £5 or more you can take a guess at the time I will record at the Indoor Rowing Championships on November 12th at the NIA in Birmingham. 

  • When you get to the Commit Payment page, simply put your name in the My Name or Nickname field and your guess in the My Message field in this format: [mm:ss:hh]. 

  • Ensure you tick the box indicating that you are happy for the owner to see your email address as this will be needed to contact the winner!

  • If you have any questions or messages, please email me at lachlan@rowerroadshow.co.uk I would love to hear from you! 

Please visit my website for full details: www.rowerroadshow.co.uk

The 'Rower Roadshow element is based around my target of going from unfit to fit between Janaury 06 and November 06 at which time I will compete in the National Indoor Rowing Championships.  I aim to achieve a time of 7 minutes for 2000 metres... a very ambitious target considering my best time in March was 8 minutes!

All my progress will be kept updated on my website.

It is the kind donations that will spur me through the hard training and help reach the target of £2000. 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
