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
Help for Heroes and the
Army Benevolent Fund.
Help for Heroes was set up as a civilian initiate as a
non-political charity with two main aims: to provide direct
practical support to wounded service men and women, and to
enhance support and awareness from the public for the armed forces. So far amongst other projects H4H has helped fund a purpose-built pool for the
rehabilitation of service personnel at Headley court (£8m) and heavily supported Combat Stress which aid the healing of the
psychological wounds of conflict.
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.
