On Saturday 18th April 2020, In loving memory of Steven, one year on from our sad loss, I'm going to row 100 miles (160,934m) on a rowing machine, which is the equivalent distance from York to the Wirral, his home. This is the journey steven never got to make 'The last Journey' home, in his memory.
I hope to raise money for the York Rescue Boat service for the thankless task that the team carry out daily, on limited resources, on a voluntary basis.
My aim is to give them something back, to say thanks for the help they provide, not just on the night Steven sadly lost his life, but every time the team are called out.
At the same time, I hope to raise awareness of the role the York Rescue Boat service and the team provides, all the dangers that the river ouse and water can bring with it and hopefully help the team try to prevent any tradgic incidents happening in the future.
York Rescue Boat is an independent lifeboat and search and rescue charity, every single member of the team is a professional volunteer, no one receives a wage. All monies raised through this page will go to help fund our weekly prevention and rescue patrols on the River Ouse in York as well as our education program in schools, youth groups and university's teaching the fundamentals of water safety
