A little about me....
I first took part in a 'Row the Suez Canal' challenge 16 years ago whilst serving onboard 'HMS Illustrious' as we were transiting the Canal itself.... only back then I only did 2000m of it! So this time I thought I'd try going a bit further........ I've put together a 5-man team, myself and 4 work colleagues/friends.  The Venue is the University Sports Centre Cambridge and will be taking place on Saturday 12th November 2016.  We will be rowing the full distance of the Suez Canal including the north and south holding areas (120.11 miles/193.3km) and each person will each row 24.02 miles (38.65km). On a personal level, this is going to be a massive challenge for me. Those that know me know that I carry injuries and,due to illness, also really struggle with my energy levels & fatigue . This will be a true test of my endurance, stamina and question my sanity or stupidity.

So please dig deep, raid the piggy banks, and check the back of the sofa and sponsor me,help me raise as much as possible for Combat Stress & keep me focused and motivated every step of the way whilst I train for this event 

Anyone in the area please do feel free to come along and support us. 

Many many thanks in advance
