From Andy Russell:

WE ARE A TEAM OF 8 INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNDERTAKING A MASSIVE CHALLENGE TO ROW 1 MILLION METRES EACH TO RAISE AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE FOR MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT AND CANCER SUPPORT SCOTLAND 'TAK TENT'

Our challenge is to row 8 Million Metres for cancer charities, namely MacMillan and Cancer Support Scotland (Tak Tent) on a Concept 2 indoor rowing machine at our local Greens Health and Fitness Centre Finneston Glasgow.

We have a strong team of 8 members who will each row 1 Million Metres, to raise as much money as possible for these two outstanding cancer charities.

The challenge commenced today (January 9th 2012). Each rower will be rowing between 15 and 20,000m every day, 6 days per week for a total of 10-12 weeks, until we reach our target of 8 Million Metres.

This is a physically demanding and gruelling challenge. 8 Million Metres is the equivalent of rowing across the Atlantic Ocean from Glasgow to San Francisco!

So, please, sponsor us now by clicking www.justgiving.com/8millionmetrerow2012 to donate and help us raise as much money as possible for both these worthy charities.

Why cancer charities? We are all affected by cancer. We all have loved ones, friends or acquaintances affected. The lives of 1 in 3 people are affected by cancer.

The two charities we are raising money for do amazing work to help ease the pain and suffering of those people affected by cancer. They provide financial and emotional support to help improve their lives.

Cancer affects us all! We can all help! So please, please support us by sponsoring our challenge and help us help others affected by cancer.

Donating through JustGiving here is easy, fast and totally secure. If you are a UK taxpayer an additional 28% tax will be added at no extra cost to you!

So please give generously and leave us your name and comments of support. We will need it!

Thank you all very much!
