Hi Hugh,
 
Could you put a thank you on the Hawks website for the donations and support received from everyone for my rowing marathon.
 
We set off at 9.15am last Sunday morning on a gorgeous sunny day with a slight tailwind to help us down the course. We completed the 50km course in 4hours 34 mins and were 2nd in our category which was not bad for us! I loved every minute of it despite having to haul our boat out at a lock and having to row through 5km of pond weed at 40km. The atmosphere was great and I would do it all again tomorrow if I had to. I reached my fundraising target and I was able to walk at the end of it so all my training definitely paid off!
 
Thanks again,
 
Lesley Afuakwah.
