Kent Rows to Tokyo
We are the University of Kent's Rowing Club, and we are spending the next 7 weeks trying to row the almost 10,000 kilometres from Canterbury to Tokyo!
We have taken on this challenge in an attempt to raise funds for our club, in order to allow us access to better training grounds and even a full time coach! This will mean we can compete on a more equal standing with our competition, and further improve our successes at regional and national events.
We've settled on 7 weeks for this undertaking, as that is how long we have until our annual Christmas ball, which is where we will announce both the total distance we travelled and how much money we raised.
Its hard for us to put into words how much the potential funds raised by this challenge will mean for our club, as all our hard work over the last few months, even years, will finally come to fruition. Anything you can spare for our cause will be appreciated massively! We won't let you down!
Love, UKC Rowing
