Race The Thames
Fundraising for London Youth Rowing
Story
I am 14 years old and a member of the Enniskillen Royal Boat Club. I took up rowing on arriving at Enniskillen Royal Grammar school and have been an active member since. The sport has enabled me to meet new friends and compete in national competitions across the UK and Ireland.
It is my ambition to inspire other young people to take up rowing as an activity and that is why I am participating in the Race the Thames event as part of an 8 person team.
Race The Thames is the annual fundraising event run by London Youth Rowing (LYR). The money raised will be used to help support LYR's work in London and Leeds. LYR's programmes allow young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to take part in rowing, giving them the benefit of participating in the sport and allowing them to fulfil their potential.
To complete the challenge, our team of 8 will be racing the distance of the Thames by rowing, running or cycling 346km in a week.
The virtual event will take place between 24th - 31st January
Please consider donating to my page and help other young rowers to succeed.
Wish me luck! 🚣🏻♂️
William.
