EIGHT members of Upper Thames Rowing Club will row the length of the River Thames in a bid to raise money for two charities next week.
The men have signed up for Race the Thames, which starts on Monday and involves rowing 346km in seven days on ergos.
The challenge was devised by Olympic gold medallist and Henley resident Andrew Triggs Hodge.
The team includes Nick Mills, Stephen Kelso, Peter McConnell, Mark Tritton, Alastair Harsant, Nick French, Nick Horne and James Burkitt, whose ages range from 37 to 45.
Each person must row 6.2km a day to reach the final total and the money raised will be divided equally between Help for Heroes and London Youth Rowing.
