The Great Thames Row 2016 is happening because one remarkable lady (Naomi) had a crazy idea. Liz was crazy enough to go for it and from there, the girls managed to convince others to help them. Everyone is giving their time and expertise for free, and without them all, this would not be the event it is turning out to be. Thank you Team TGTR!
