Benny Fennell is marking his 50th birthday by rowing 100km on an ergo in 24 hours to raise money for Home-Start Wokingham District, a family support charity aiming to give disadvantaged children a better start in life.
He will be doing it with the help of friends across the UK and the world via zoom who will each do a 5km stint with him to help keep him going. The challenge will start at midday on Friday 30th July and will finish at midday on Saturday 31st July.
He hopes to raise £5,000 for Home-Start, a local charity which helps families going through a particularly tough time by providing regular emotional and practical support in the home. It costs £500 to support a family for six months so £5000 would mean Home-Start could give ten more families the life changing support they need.
Home-Start and their families are enormously grateful for your support.
