<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 15.0px Calibri;">If all 12 team members complete their rows successfully their combined row will amount to approximately 750 miles – nearly the equivalent of the straight-line distance between Guernsey and Copenhagen in Denmark.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 15.0px Calibri;">Each rower will have rowed six miles short of the Guernsey to Weymouth distance or just over three times the Guernsey to Jersey distance.</p>
