Family fitness challenge to help refugees

We’re raising money in aid of Refuweegee and every donation will help - thanks! After reading a couple of books featuring child refugees and recently watching The Swimmers (true story about 2 Syrian sisters trying to reach Germany) the 4 of us are taking on a fitness challenge each:
Margot: running 12K over 2 weeks
Inès: rowing 12K in one session (maybe helped by Vikki!)
Vikki: rowing 12K plus a few more K…
Gillian: swimming for 3 x 1hr in a day
(12K is the shortest distance between Turkey and Lesbos and a common, precarious crossing point into Europe for refugees)
