Firstly may we thank everyone for visiting our page and donating something, no matter how small, for what we feel is a truly worthwhile cause.

As you may be aware by now, the 4 of us old blokes intend to row across the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean in the fastest time possible in December 2011 and if we can raise as much money as possible for the charity at the same time then absolutely whizzer.

We will update the page with photographs and the occasional video of course just to keep everyone interested in our progress (well to monitor our beard growth if nothing else anyway).

A huge thank you to Marks & Spencer too for without their support this trip could not have happened.
