Easter Island Paddle Board Expedition · 20 September 2017

Rockinghorse is a Brighton-based charity which has been supporting children for over 50 years. It was set up in 1967 by Dr Trevor Mann to improve healthcare services for sick children and babies. The charity fundraises for items for every child's treatment, from toys to life-saving equipment.

Story

Three Brighton business bosses will paddle around Easter Island in November to raise money for Rockinghorse Children's Charity. The team is made up of Neil Laughton, Mark Newman and Meriel David with Rob Pelling as support and safety crew. 

They have just paddled their way around the Isle of Wight to train for their challenge in November. Team member, Neil Laughton said the actual expedition will hold more of a challenge than the Solent. "The main consideration is we will be 2500 miles away from the mainland and the waves and swells will be quite large and the winds will be quite strong. There is also the chance of coming across sharks!"

Please support their challenge to raise funds for Rockinghorse.
