Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

On 28th September two crews from Sidney Sussex Boat Club, Cambridge, took part in the annual CRA Sponsored Row to Ely, over a distance of approximately 18 miles.

Both crews arrived in Ely in just under 4 hours - an impressive time considering we had a long wait to go through the lock at Bottisham. The weather was ideal and it was a great day out for everyone, even if many of us finished blistered and sunburnt with various aches and pains!

In the women's VIII were be Beth Parker, Caroline Carter, Hannah Taylor, Henrietta Mair, Lisa Meegan, Sarah Day, Sarah Parks and Tasha Scott, coxed by Dave Thorn. The men's IV was Chris Hawkesford, Craig Naylor, Joe Payton and Marcus Baumann, with cox Veronica Yan.

SSBC are raising money for Sue Ryder Care. One of our members tragically lost her father to cancer a few weeks ago, and the Boat Club would like to support her in giving something back to the charity who cared for him in his final weeks. We may have already completed the row but you can still sponsor us as we'd love to reach our fundraising target.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Sue Ryder Care gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks to everyone who has sponsored us so far; please continue to give as much as you can. All donations are greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Lisa Meegan, Women's Vice-Captain
