Hope for Hasti
Campaign by Hope for Hasti (RCN 1188769)
I'm Chris Brannigan and Hasti is my daughter; she has a rare genetic disease (CdLS). I'm embarking on a 1200 mile journey from Bar Harbor, to Jacksonvill carrying 55lb and walking BAREFOOT to raise funds for a gene therapy for Hasti's condition.

Story

In December 2021 we will be joining crews from all over the world to compete in the premier event in ocean rowing. The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge will see us row over 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean from San Sebastian in La Gomera to Nelson's Dockyard in Antigua & Barbuda.

We will battle with sleep deprivation, salt sores, and physical extremes inflicted by the race. Left with just our own thoughts, an expanse of the ocean and the job of getting the boat safely to the other side.

Below you can choose which of our two incredible charities you would like to support. London Youth Rowing and Hope4Hasti. Watch this space for the opportunity to also donate to The Fawcett Society!

Hope for Hasti is a charity focused on the development of a gene therapy for Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS), to improve the quality of life of those living with this rare and little known genetic condition. But those that live with CdLS deserve hope, and we aim to give it to them.
