My story
Firstly, Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.
Mike and Simon have took part in the `2009 Woodvale Atlantic Ocean Row`.
Well...... we did it. After 76 days at sea, rowing alternatively 2hrs on and 2hrs off, we arrived to a wonderful reception of friends and family in English Harbour, Antigua.
We never thought it would be easy, and it definately was`nt. during the crossing we faced 60ft waves, horrendous storms, constant sleep deprivation, countless electrical problems and of course having to come to terms with psychological and physiological issues that jeopardised our ability to continue.
We fought through it all to succeed.
We saw some fantastic sights, like the wonderful wildlife that would regularily visit us, from whales, dolphins and even sharks.!!!!! amazing light shows at night, created by shooting stars and constant phosflourescence.
Now that we are back, we hope to provide inspiration to our local communities and, inparticular to the younger members, so they can see that with a little determination and will power, maybe even a little pain, any thing really is possible.
We also hope to substantially raise our fund raising through the continued publicity of local media and support of our sponsors.
Further infomation is available via: 07812839857 or through their web site:
Please support them both with their attempt but more importantly, support the charity they have chosen by making a donation. On behalf of all involved. Thank you.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us. If you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
My charity
The Fire Fighters Charity
Charity Registration No. 1093387
Every 30 seconds in the UK fire fighters are called to an incident, risking their lives to save others, but sadly they often sustain physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties. The Fire Fighters Charity is here for fire fighters during their times of need. The Charity offers vital support services across the UK for all fire fighters, assisting in excess of 17,500 individuals every year. Our modern, dynamic and award-winning charity has three UK centres, located in Cumbria, Devon and West Sussex, which provide therapy, rehabilitation and recuperation facilities. Our pioneering Beneficiary Support Services offers local and remote assistance to fire service personnel in need nationwide – providing solutions to real life problems. It costs over £9 million every year to keep the Charity running, and with no government funding, we are completely reliant upon donations and fundraising, so your support is very much needed.
