Help GB Row raise £1million
Every penny counts !
IF luck and good weather hold, the GB Rowers may be home around Monday July 4 - and as the final week of their incredible journey unfolds, the crew's thoughts have turned to just why they undertook this epic voyage.
To earn a coveted Guinness World Record, certainly. And at the rate they have been going it could be a record that'll be hard to beat.
But, more important, they did it to raise money - hopefully £1 million - for two extremely worthwhile charities, The Bud Flanagan Fund for luekaemia research and The Outward Bound Trust, who deserve our support.

Our heroes have literally been through hell and high water in the last
three weeks - first facing Force Eight gales and 50 foot waves then water rationing caused by a lack of sunshine to power their solar panels.
Despite everything, they have managed to cover an amazing 70 miles a day - far further and quicker than anyone had dreamed was possible.

A Sea of Inspiration
You can probably imagine it; wanting to stop, but determined to carry on; hurting, exhausted, disorientated, but fired on by the support of family and friends. All this is commonplace for leukaemia sufferers.
Outward Bound® is the meaning of the Blue Peter signal flag hoisted by merchant ships as they leave harbour for foreign ports. The combined skills of the entire crew are required to ensure that the ship, in this case a rowboat, makes a safe journey.
GB Row Challenge are attempting to row non-stop around the British mainland to raise money for two very worthwhile charities: Bud Flanagan Leukaemia Fund and The Outward Bound Trust (OB).
Support GB Row Challenge and help them raise £1million for charity. |
