GMS Rows from Lands End to John O’Groats

On Thursday 5th February over 450 students and rowers from Great Marlow School took up the challenge to row 1.42  million meters, the equivalent of Lands End to John O’Groats, in a mammoth ‘Rowathon’. Students started at 7.15am and having rowed continuously throughout the day they finally reached their target at 5.30pm that evening. The goal was to raise £5000 (£1000 more than last year) in order to purchase a much needed quadruple skull. The school then hope to attract match funding to enable them to make this vital purchase .
” Due to the tremendous efforts of all the students involved and the generosity of their family and friends, we have already raised over £5200 including gift aid and there are more donations to be counted as we speak. ” said Fergus Murison, Head Rowing Coach. ” Every year group in school  took part which is testament to the enthusiasm for the sport that exists at Great Marlow School. Having lost our main sponsor earlier this year, the fundraising efforts for 2015 will be even more critical to the boat club and I am very grateful to everyone who took part”.
If you are a past pupil of Great Marlow School and wish to support the students in their rowing you can make a donation athttp://mydonate.bt.com/events/rowathon until the 28th February. Please leave a message of support as the students always appreciate reading these!
