Rower, Morgan Hellen

Morgan Hellen, a talented young year-old rower from Maidstone, Kent, is seeking to represent Great Britain at a Junior Rowing World Championships and in the Olympics. He trains six days a week at Maidstone Invicta Rowing Club in Kent and has been rowing since he was eleven. Morgan’s greatest achievements to date are rowing for the Junior 16 Great Britain team a year early (in the pair) as a 15 year-old; being national champion two years in a row; and being National Schools Champion in the double scull.

A £1,000 cheque was presented to Morgan by JWCT trustee Tom Willson on 17 January 2010 (pictured left) at the Rowing Club, with a report published in the Kent Messenger newspaper. Morgan said that a grant would “mean that it would enable me to do all of the trials and constant journeys around the country and Europe without putting my family under the financial pressure I feel I do at times.”

Morgan is also part of the national champion Junior 16 coxed four, and has won a medal every year he has entered the British Indoor Rowing Championships.
