MARLOW (ENGLAND) RAISES FUNDS FOR AwF AGAIN!

For the third year running, Mick and Sophie Varley and their friends entered a crew into the Marlow Town Regatta Dragon Boat Race...........

The dragon boat crew has raised nearly £2,100 for AwF in 2007. This brings the total raised for AwF through this activity alone to nearly £4,700 (~US$ 9,400) since 2005.

AwF is most grateful to the Prince of Wales Marlow (public house), which paid for the entry of the AwF - PoW crew and supplied its special t-shirts and to the members of the crew (some were PoW customers and two were British Airways staff). Above all, we thank those who painstakingly collected the money for the sponsorships that raised so much money for AwF and those who contributed to their initiative.

(AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU FROM  AwF (UK) CHAIRMAN MICHAEL NEW ('DAD') TO SOPHIE & MICK FOR YOUR TIRELESS EFFORTS TO SUPPORT THE ACTIVITIES OF AwF..............)
