 £6,OO0
raised for Chiswick Lifeboat
Following Chiswick Lifeboat crewmember Steve East’s efforts in the
first London to Paris rowing challenge two years ago, on May 9th
2010, the Outloars, a scratch, mixed crew assembled from theUK and Belgium set
off on the same journey. Although adverse weather this time
prevented the rowers crossing the channel in their traditional
Thames Cutters, the Outloars crew sped up the Seine to Paris and
raised over £6,000 for the RNLI. Outloars crewmember, Simon Pelly,
has asked for their fundraising to be associated with Chiswick RNLI
Lifeboat; much of their training was on the patch of
the Thames covered by Chiswick Lifeboat. |
