Story

The Mission to Seafarers has called everyone in maritime to back their Global Champions Unite campaign. They are calling for people to take on a challenge, whatever their fitness ability, in support of seafarers worldwide. 

This isn't Matthew alone, there's a team of 4, Kristine, Erik, Colin and myself all working at Teekay in Singapore and heading to the gym whenever we can. Our goal between the 4 of us,  is to lift a combined weight of 1000 tons over 90 days, be it a deadlift, a backsquat, a shoulder press or any other movement that involves weights!!

Our efforts together will increase awareness for the challenges seafarers have faced, and continue to face. The funds raised through the campaign will contribute to MtSs Sustaining Crew Welfare Fund, which aims to maintain and adapt MtS services, against the backdrop of the COVID-19 virus.Visit https://www.missiontoseafarers.org/events/global-champions-unite
