On Tuesday, February 13th, at 8pm, a team from GRAF UK will embark on a 24-hour rowing marathon at the GRAF UK Gym, aiming to cover 344 miles, the distance between their Glasgow Branch and Banbury Head Office.
This valiant effort isn’t just about setting records; it’s a heartfelt effort to support the Banbury based Katharine House Hospice, a vital local charity providing end-of-life care to around 1,300 individuals annually.
This challenge is part of the Katharine House Hospice Accumulator Challenge, a series of fundraising activities the team been proud to support since October. From a festive pub quiz to donating proceeds from a sponsored bar at Banbury Rugby Club, they are now looking to make a significant impact with this rowing event.
And, in support they will be joined by an Olympic Gold Medal rower. The entire event will be live-streamed, offering a unique opportunity for the community and supporters to tune in and cheer on the participants. The goal is to raise £10,000, with every penny going directly to support the hospice’s crucial services. You can donate here.
