Brian is rowing the English Channel!

One of our members writes.
To celebrate turning 92, I’ve set myself a personal challenge:
I will be completing a virtual rowing distance of 21 miles (34 km) — the equivalent of swimming across the English Channel — all in support of the Hospice.
This is my way of giving back and showing that age doesn’t stop determination. Every mile I row is in honour of the incredible care and compassion the Hospice provides to families when they need it most.
If you’d like to support me, cheer me on, or donate to this wonderful cause, it would mean the world.
Let's get behind Brian's act of love and care and visit the Just Giving Page to donate.
