A North Yorkshire school dived in to support a bereaved father who rowed 3,000 miles across the Atlantic ocean to raise funds in the hope of preventing another family going through the dreadful loss of a child.
Members of Amy’s family helped to start the challenge with the House Captains at the ready. Each pupil had three minutes to row and in total the school rowed 138,051 metres, 85.78 miles. Byland House were the House winners.
Carole Cameron, head of Queen Mary’s School, said: “Amy was a much-loved pupil of Queen Mary’s and we are thrilled to be able to support her father Andrew in his fundraising for CRY. All pupils took part in the charity row and the whole school community was behind the initiative.”
