On 20 September, the Brading Haven Gig Rowers, joined by two rowers from Yarmouth Gig Rowing Club, will take on the challenge of a 21.6-mile row along the River Thames, from East London to Richmond.
The challenge will be a true team effort, with the crew battling tides, testing their endurance, and soaking in the spectacular views of one of the UK’s most iconic rivers.
“This race is our way of giving back”
The rowers are proud to dedicate their efforts to raising funds for Mountbatten Isle of Wight.
“Many of us, along with our families and friends, have experienced first-hand the extraordinary care, compassion, and support Mountbatten provides during some of life’s most difficult moments.
“This race is our way of giving back.”
Thrilled to be joining forces for such a meaningful challenge
A Yarmouth Gig Rowers added,
“We’re thrilled to be joining forces with Brading Haven Gig Rowers for such a meaningful challenge.
“Rowing is all about teamwork, and together we’re determined to raise as much as possible for Mountbatten.”
Every donation, big or small, will help Mountbatten continue their vital work: caring for patients, supporting families, and standing alongside staff across the island when they’re needed most.
