The Great Row – September 2012
Edward has kindly shared the following photographs from The Great Row 2012 – a Jesus College Boat Club charity rowing trip from the JCBC Oxford boat house to the JCBC Cambridge boat house. The 166-mile trip was to raise funds for Headway, a brain injury charity that had aided the recovery of a (then) second year student at Jesus who suffered a serious head injury in Spain the previous year. The crew raised over £6000.
