Andy Ripley Prostate Cancer Charity T-Shirts
Posted by Concept2 News on the 8th of July 2010
You will have recently heard the sad news that Andy Ripley OBE and former British and Irish Lion, England Rugby international, BBC Superstars champion, Boat Race trialist at the age of 50, indoor rowing champion and Tideway Scullers School President died at the age of 62 after a long battle with prostate cancer. Since first learning of his condition in 2005 Andy has campaigned tirelessly on behalf of the Prostate Cancer charity to raise money and awareness about this illness.
To show the high regard in which Andy was held by Tideway Scullers School and the rowing community in general TSS have had 500 t-shirts produced that are available for £10.00 per shirt. TSS will not receive any proceeds - this is entirely about the charity and showing support for Andy Ripley.
If you would like to purchase a t-shirt then please visit the Crew Room web site. Crew Rooms have kindly agreed to distribute them at no cost. Alternatively, please send an email to tshirt@tidewayscullers.com..
