The Rowing Club were delighted to present a cheque to Bowel Cancer UK for a total of £6750:00. All the money was raised by sixth form rowers who completed the 31 mile Boston Marathon to raise funds in the memory of Brian Kellett who lost his battle to the disease late last year. We also wish to thank Matthew Langridge for providing a GB top to auction, raising an incredible £660:00 towards the total.
