Andy Midgley & Mark Trist: 2 man 125km row

Andy Midgley and Mark Trist is raising money for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)

125km row · 28 October 2022

Four blokes are doing the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge in support of Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) because 125 people die by suicide every week

Story

Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide. Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male. CALM exists to change this by offering life saving services, provoking conversation and bringing people together to reject living miserably. From advice on the site, through to free, confidential chats with helpline staff, online or on the phone, they’re here for whoever needs them, every day. No matter what. £8 is enough to fund one potentially life-saving call.

On November 4th, Mark and Andy are rowing a combined 125km as part of the Strokes4Blokes campaign against male suicide (https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/Strokes4Blokes). We'll row a thousand metres for each weekly suicide. That’s 77 miles, the distance from Bristol to Reading.  We’ll row for as long as it takes but are hoping to complete the distance in around 6 hours at Pure Gym, Union Gate in Bristol. It won’t be easy. Any donations you can give would be amazing. It’ll help to get us over the line!!
