On the 2nd March, the inaugural Recruitment Rowathon will take place, pitting recruitment organisations across the UK against each other to see who can row the furthest over an eight hour period on a Concept 2 static rowing machine, and here's why we're doing it...

In December 2 ordinary men will row more than 3,000 miles across the Atlantic following Christopher Columbus’ second Voyage, from Cadiz to Antigua. Affectionately known as the Atlantic Avengers, Ricky and John, are putting themselves through one of the toughest challenges on the planet to raise both awareness and money to support three incredible youth charities:

> The Opera Global Youth Foundation
> Clic Sargent
> The Shepway Sports Trust

Their cause is simple, fuelled by a real desire to make a difference in the lives of young people - “We are trying to achieve something amazing and to make a real difference in the lives of people less fortunate, one nautical mile at a time."

Kickstarting the campaign, the following recruitment teams will be generously donating their time (and physical capabilities!) to take on the Recruitment Rowathon on 2nd March to see who can row the furthest, raise the most money and possible even beat the Atlantic Avengers:

> The Recruitment Network
> Oho Group
> Niyaa People
> Freshminds
> TXM Recruit
> Marton Recruitment
> White Recruitment
> Calco Services

Please get behind one of the teams, support them and donate generously to help us achieve our objectives of raising more than £50,000 in 8 hours.

** When donating, please ensure you mention the name of the team (from the list above) that your are supporting **

Thank you for your generosity and support.
