SAMMY B GOODE

On 7th May I shall attempt a Charity Marathon Row along with my daughter, Samantha, in aid of the TEENAGE CANCER TRUST. I do not wish to visit the WOL well too many times, but anyone who would like to support these kids can do so on my Just Giving page https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/John-Coopey?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=shares-from-email&utm_campaign=page-create-email-share-facebook&utm_content=John-Coopey

 

From here in Chapel Haddlesey to Morley, Leeds

They speak of little else but Sammy Coopey’s deeds

Tuff Mudding with the Dirty Girls through rain and sleet

And diving from an aeroplane at 10000 feet.

Then abseiled for the Red Cross just a year ago

But now it’s Teenage Cancer Trust.  Just watch Sammy go.

Go, go. Go, Sammy, go.

Go.  Go, Sammy, go.

Go.  Go, Sammy, go.

Go, Sammy, go.

Go.  Sammy B Goode.

 

 

Along with her Old Dad she’ll do a marathon

By heaving on the rower that she’s sat upon.

A distance which in miles is over 26

And not the sort of thing that you do very quick;

A feat of strength and stamina and mental powers

We reckon it will take a roundabout 4 hours.

Row, row.  Row, Sammy, row.

Row. Row, Sammy, row.

Row. Row, Sammy, row.

Row. Row, Sammy, row.

Row,  Sammy B Goode.

 

 

So if you’d like to help Samantha make a crust

And contribute towards the Teenage Cancer Trust

It’s really very simple all you need to do

Is reach into your wallet for a bob or two

Then pop it in the pot and watch the kitty grow

And wish her all the best when Sam begins her row.

Row, row.  Row, Sammy, row.

Row. Row, Sammy, row.

Row. Row, Sammy, row.

Row. Row, Sammy, row.

Row,  Sammy B Goode.

If ever there was a sight "fit" to be seen
It'll be JC on his rowing machine!

Thanks, Colin. I'm up to 2.5 hours now. I did it 7 years ago when I was 58. It's bloody hard this time round!
