The 24 hour rowing challenge took place on 14th and 15th December 2012 in the boathouse of the King’s School, Worcester.

Over 40 students were involved and kept four rowing machines in action for the duration of the event, managing to row 1,350,000m in total. They raised £1000 in sponsorship for CRY. A further £600 was added to the donation which was raised from cake sales throughout the year.

The money was raised in memory of Scott Rennie who was Head Boy at King’s in 2002 and an outstanding rower himself.

The event was such a success that it is to be repeated on the 13th and 14th of December 2013, once more in support of CRY.
