Dave Morris rows the London Marathon for BCS

On April 26^th at 10:00am, when the London Marathon starts, our friend and Birmingham Christmas Shelter donor Dave Morris will start rowing on a Concept2 indoor rowing machine at the Virgin Active gym in Solihull. He is aiming to complete the full 26 mile distance (or 42195 meters for the Europeans among us) in under 3 and a half hours.

He has been training for over 20 weeks and has covered over 800,000 meters in training including several half marathons and one row of 20 miles. He is carrying an injured arm ("my own" says Dave) which will need surgery 10 days after the event!

Funds raised will be split as follows; 50% BCS, 25% Welsh Air Ambulance, 25% Cancer Research.

All pledges of donations should be emailed to Dave at Morris301@btinternet.com
