Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This years Fragile X challenge was due to be a 4 man rowing crew, non-stop from Plymouth to the Isles of Silly. Three amazing friends had given up their time to take part in this event with me. Tragically one of the crew, Ian Leach (Leachy) suddenly passed away earlier this year. He was a genuinely amazing guy and his death goes to highlight the challenges facing so many in todays society.

The row has been put on hold, but we are, as I believe Ian would have wanted undertaking another challenge, Both to raise money for the Fragile X society and Petes Dragons, and amazing local charity that have supported Ian.s family through the toughest of times.

The Fragile X Society in a charity that is very personal to me with my son Harrison diagnosed with Fragile X Syndrome 3 years ago. They continue to give amazing support to families living with this condition.

So the challenge... To lift 1 Million Kilos in 24 hours, on June 30th, between 4 of us we aim to lift 644kg a minute for 24 hours. Any sponsorship is greatly appreciated. PLEASE if possible and i know its a pain split your donations between the two charities. Many thanks in advance
