All in a very good cause
19th October 2024
Hi,
I am writing to see if I can encourage Cygnet RC to get involved with Motor Neurone Disease 5000 Squats for November 2024
I am a former Cygnet member, rowing with the squad from late 90s through to early 2000s and also met my wife Tanith there, who was rowing at BBLRC. Earlier this year Tanith was very sadly diagnosed with MND and now is in a full-on battle with it. I now row just up-stream at Walbrook and we will be setting up a Just Giving page so we can fund raise as a collective. My own page is here but hope that some of you will take up the challenge.
Best wishes and good luck for the season

{Ed]. As I'm sure many of you are aware from the recent publicity surrounding former rugby players Rob Burrows, Doddie Weir and Ed Slater, there is sadly no cure for MND –yet. We would encourage members to get involved (the squats will be good for your erg times!) or failing that consider making a donation to Daimo's fund raising page. Many thanks.
