Spitalfields market was transformed on the evening of 11th September 2013 when 77 teams making up 770 rowers rowed 1 million metres in The Big Row. This major City event was raising money for the Chauncy Maples Malawi Trust, a charity created to renovate the ship Chauncy Maples on Lake Malawi and bring vital healthcare to remote villages in a country that has only 250 doctors for its entire population of 16 million. Angela Rippon, Katie Derham and Robert Terharne-Jones compered the evening and rowers were entertained by a Japanese Drumming Group and 'Bond' string quartet. The aim of the event was to raise £500,000 and the target is almost reached!
