generate almost &pound;5,000 for Help for Heroes and Scarborough Royal National lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in a challenge organised by members of Scarborough Sub Aqua Club, Scarborough Evening News reports.<\/p>\n<p>Participants raised the healthy sum by rowing the restored William Riley lifeboat between Scarborough and Whitby.<\/p>\n<p>Press officer for Scarborough RNLI John Porter said: &quot;It's a marvellous donation and the people have worked very hard to raise such a staggering amount of money.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The news provider noted the William Riley was built in 1909 and was involved in the rescue of the Rohilla, which took place in October 1914.<\/p>\n<p>It was almost another 20 years before it was decommissioned, with the decision being made in May 1931.<\/p>\n<p>Worcester News recently reported the Pershore Phoenix Dragon Boating Club collected more than &pound;2,000 for Help for Heroes after it held a fundraising racing day.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by
