To many, the idea of spending over 60 days crossing 3,000 miles of the Atlantic in a rowing boat would be immediately dismissed. However, in late 2024 and into early 2025, Oar Mighty Mates 2C; a two-man team from Kent and Devon, England, took on the World’s Toughest Row Atlantic Challenge.
Andy Purvis and Tim Cox completed the challenge to raise money for two charities:
Dementia UK who play a vital role in supporting those living with Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
Abigail’s Footsteps, a baby loss charity providing support and counselling for bereaved parents as well as specialist bereavement training for midwives and healthcare professionals.
You can be involved too, by supporting us with our fundraising efforts
Every donation no matter how big or small is appreciated and will make a difference.
With this in mind, we’re devoted to forging mutually beneficial collaborations with organisations and individuals that share our vision of changing lives through a massive campaign based on co-operation, determination, and collaboration.
