On Friday 27th March 2009 at Belushi's, Newquay, the Rona Sailing Trust are attempting to reach a £5000 target by challenging four teams of locals, to row the length of Cornwall.
The Rona Sailing Project is one of the oldest Sail Training organisations in the UK, established for almost 50 years. They have taken over 30,000 young people to sea and given them the experience of a lifetime, greater self-confidence and a new perspective on the world.
Local volunteer for the charity Dan Kewley has given up his valuable spare time to raise funds for the Charity. Through local community spirit and word of mouth, he has rustled up four teams to compete, head to head, in a gruelling four hour row. With teams competing from Chy Bar, Belushi's, Cornwall College Student Union, and Rona Sailing Trust. Sweat, blood, and tears? We hope so.
From 5pm onwards on Friday 27 March, Belushi's has kindly offered the venue for the fundraiser, there will be face painting, live music, and even waxing. An evening not to missed!
The Rona Sailing Trust is a fantastic charity offering opportunities not possible without the help of volunteers like Dan. This is the first year for the Row Across Cornwall fundraiser, lets get together and make it a success.
