We are thrilled to announce that a few foolish members of the Goring Gap Rowing Club are participating in the LYR Race the Thames Challenge! This event, organised by London Youth Rowing (LYR), is a fantastic opportunity for our members to showcase their fitness (or lack of) while supporting a great cause.
What is the LYR Race the Thames Challenge?
The LYR Race the Thames Challenge is a virtual team-building event where participants work together to cover the distance of the River Thames, which is approximately 346km. Teams can contribute their mileage through any sport, whether it’s rowing, running, cycling, or even trampolining! The challenge runs from February 7th to February 14th, 2025, and aims to bring people together, promote physical activity, and bust the winter blues.
Why Support Our Members?
Our Goring Gap members are not only taking on this challenge to stay active and engaged but also to raise funds for LYR. London Youth Rowing helps over 5,000 young people each year to develop key life skills through rowing and other water sports. Their programs focus on teamwork, problem-solving, leadership, and staying positive, making a significant impact on the lives of young people from diverse backgrounds.
How Can You Help?
We are seeking sponsorship to support our members in this endeavour. Your contributions will help cover the costs of participation and support LYR’s mission to empower young people. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference!
