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.
