<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>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 for two charities that are close to me, firstly the <strong>Stroke Association </strong>after my older brother suffered a stroke last year at the age of 37. Although he has fully recovered from this, hopefully the money raised will go towards research in causes of strokes in young people.</p>
<p>The 2nd charity is for the MS Society which you can donate on my other just giving page. <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/Phil-Craze-MS">www.justgiving.com/Phil-Craze-MS</a></p>

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.</span></span></p>
