Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 12th May at 9am I rowed for 24 hours on an indoor rowing machine. In the process I rowed 313,248m which meant that I also set a new British Record , an age group world record (30-40) and the overall world record by a mere 136m. I did all this in the aid of two charities that are close to me, firstly the MS Society Scotland which my mother-in-law has suffered from for over 20 years and has a significant impact on her daily life.

The 2nd charity is for the Stroke Asssociation which you can donate on my other just giving page. www.justgiving.com/Phil-Craze

Thanks for all your kind donations and support.

Phil

Please see below an e-mail of support from Sir Steve Redgrave.

 “Over the years I have spent a lot of time on rowing machines. I have done all sorts of challenges from the longest time spent on a rowing machines to a million meters three times, but this has all been part of a team.  The longest time I have done individually is 100 minutes. I would never consider doing a 24hr solo challenge. This would be tough both mentally and physically.

 I wish you the best and hope you get the record and raise as much money for your two charities as you can.

Good luck

Steve Redgrave
