Row For Life

Row For Life has successfully raised money for the African Childrens Development Trust with multiple team rowing events in 2009 and 2010. This year during Cowes Week one team of 10 committed, if not slightly mad individuals are going to attempt the immense feat of rowing 1 million meters non-stop in an attempt to set a new British record whilst still raising money for the charity.

Strictly adhering to the official Concept record guidelines, each member of the crew will have to row the equivalent of 2 ½ marathons at maximum pace. In addition, they must execute seamless change-overs, ensuring that the flywheel of the single machine in use never stops until the 1 Million meter distance is reached, within an estimated 2 ¾ days of solid rowing!
