Sometimes in life you just have to put your money where your mouth is and row those ‘oars through the storm’ and God knows I can talk the talk but now more than ever, for me, it’s time to walk (or row) the talk. I’ve decided to do a sponsored ‘dread’ cut. Those of you who know me, will be very familiar with the mad dreadlocked mane of hair that’s been my constant companion for well over a decade.
Next weekend these dreads will be getting chopped off to raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians.
So far I have raised £1520 with 85 donations ! Thankyou to all you lovely rowing people out there who have supported so far! I have 102 dreads and am hoping to reach 102 donations by next Friday so I only need 17 more – we can do this!!!!
I will be a much baldier sight on the sea of course, but hopefully this might streamline the downwind and improve our rowing speed which could be a plus for Kinghorn in future regattas.
It’s a cause that is very much in our hearts and minds right now and any support you can give is gratefully received.
Filmed clips of the dread-ed cut will be posted up !!
