Brightside Bloke Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 BTFC Travel, If your doing a coach to this game, Just to let you know i'll be a bit busy that day. I will however have our passenger checking Twitter for updates. This is what we are up to, (feel free to support us) This time next week myself & The crew of Trinity Tide will set off on a 100 mile row of the Thames for the charity that saved Zoe's (our Cox) life not once but 3 times during December & January 11/12. This is our way of saying thank you to the Nurse's & doctors at KCH Please see below http://www.justgiving.com/Trinity-Tide And i thank you in advance Joe What are we up to? On 14 September 2012 the Trinity Tide crew will embark on a grueling 100 mile row on the Thames, culminating on the 15 September with the 21 mile Great River Race. The Great River Race is London's River Marathon; a spectacular boat race up the Thames that attracts over 300 crews from all over the globe. Why are we doing it? Trinity Tide’s best ever coxswain Zoë Richards profoundly inspired the crew with her determination to get through the worst of times when she fell very ill at the end of 2011. Zoë spent many months undergoing numerous operations and enduring an intolerable amount of pain in the care of King’s College Hospital neurology department. Thankfully Zoë is continuing to recover well and in the not-too-distant future may even be up for coxing us again! Zoë’s sheer strength of will to get through the worst of times inspired the crew to take on a challenge of their own, and to raise money to help King's College Hospital treat other people who find themselves in need in the future. http://www.justgiving.com/Trinity-Tide How, where and when? We will launch our challenge early on the 14 September departing from Purley on Thames (upstream of Reading) and rowing 58 miles to Ham – the finish point of the Great River Race. Departing again at 4am (Tides)to row to the start of the Great River Race in Greenwich. At Trinity Tide’s home (the AHOY Centre) We then take part in the punishing 21 mile race back upstream to Ham! Three of Trinity Tide’s crew will row the full 100 miles (Captain Joe Lane AKA Brightsidebloke) Toby Gould & Stuart Turner. with other crew members rowing sections along the route to maintain six oarsmen throughout. It was too difficult to chose who would take part so this setup enables all of the crew to do their bit, while maximising the challenge for the three core rowers. http://www.justgiving.com/Trinity-Tide Who are we? Joe Lane (Captain), Stuart Turner, Toby Gould, will row the full 100 miles. We hope most if not all of the rest of Trinity Tide’s inspirational crew will do their part by rowing or coxing marathon length stints along the route; Kevin Botting, Zoë Richards, Calum Sillars, Nir Barak, Steve Terry, Craig Sparling, Alun Vincent, Alex Franklin, and Mick Wild.
