Greg Collins (second from the left) heads a crew of four, including his son Eliot, currently rowing 3000 miles across the Atlantic, fundraising for The Matt Hampson Foundation, an inspirational charity close to Greg's heart that supports young people with serious sporting injuries. It was founded by Matt Hampson following an injury he sustained playing youth rugby for England.
Greg’s mother, Pamela, built and co-owned Thame Squash Club (latterly known as Racquets) was an inspirational character with a can-do attitude, a charitable nature and a love of sport. When she died, the family started fundraising in her memory and focused on completing increasingly ambitious challenges including running marathons, ultramarathons, doing ocean swims and 100-mile bike rides.
Follow the crew's progress and please donate what you can.
