Fundraising for Army Benevolent Fund
Story
Thanks for visiting our fundraising page. This is for donations to the Army Benevolent Fund. If you would also like to donate to the charity Help for Heroes please follow this link.
At the start of June 2009 Nick Dennison and Hamish Reid shall set out on an attempt to become the first pair ever to row unsupported around Great Britain. They are doing this in order to raise money for the Army Benevolent Fund and Help for Heroes.
The ABF help in simple ways which make a massive difference.
-An electric wheelchair or walk in shower for an injured soldier
-Care home fees for a Second World War veteran
-A respite break for an army family struggling with the loss or injury of a loved one
-Furniture of a soldier just trying to get back on their feet after being diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
They also give money to over 80 other service charities.
During their one to two months at sea, Nick and Hamish will row two hours on, two hours off, twenty-four hours a day where conditions allow. They shall drink desalinated water and eat dehydrated rations. They shall battle high seas, submerged rocks, wrecks, sore derrieres and cling to their own sanity to complete their goal of becoming the first pair to row around Great Britain.
