Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 19th May 2011 my husband and I had our daughter Matilda at QA in Portsmouth 13 weeks early. She weight just 1lb 6ozs.

Matilda was in the Neonatal Unit for 92 days fighting for her life, without the specialist equipment that Ickle Pickle provide Matilda may not have survived.

To raise money for Ickle Pickle, I with a group of likeminded people, will be rowing in 2 boats from the London Eye on the Thames to the Eiffel Tower on the Seine in Paris, this includes going across the wobbly bits in the middle! A total of 440 nautical miles, 510 Miles!

The total challenge will take 6 uninterrupted days (and nights) to complete and is take place from the 4th to 10th of May 2013.

His challenge is the equivalent of 90 marathons and only 6 crews have ever completed it!!

It’s an amazing challenge, to help such an amazing charity.

If Matilda coped with being in hospital for 92 days, then rowing for 6 days & nights can’t be that bad!!!

To also help raise lots of money we have organised a Race Night on the 15 February 2013 @ Southwick Park Golf Club. Tickets cost £10 includes entry and buffet. There is also a raffle and the chance to win your money back on the virtual horses. If you would like tickets or further information please contact alex.ireson@yahoo.com

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you so much
