Story

Rowing the Atlantic

Hi there, as some of you already know myself and a mate Nick Rees are going to row across the Atlantic in December 2013. Nick's wife and my lifelong friend, Ellen, has recently recovered from breast cancer and we want to support Breakthrough Breast Cancer and their research to help prevent others and their families from going through a similar ordeal. See www.breakthroughatlantic.com

Our plans to row the Atlantic are well under way and we will be out training in Breakthrough on the week commencing Nov 5 on the Menai Strait, North Wales.  Nick and I are really excited to be finally getting some sea miles under our oars!  Keep following and donating folks!.

So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
