ROWING FOR TWO GREAT CAUSES
Throughout the challenge Craig will be rowing for two great causes. Raising awareness for both the British Heart Foundation and the Royal National Lifeboat Institute. All money raised will be split equally between the two causes, providing much needed funding to help save lives.
As they enter their 200 year anniversary not much has changed for the RNLI. They are still a fantastic emergency service who are ready 24/7, night and day, all weather, to save lives.
For someone who likes to spend time at sea I am well aware of the importance of the need for this incredible group of volunteers who provide a selfless, dedicated commitment to saving lives at sea.
In 2018 my dad died of a heart condition he never knew he had, Ischaemic Heart Disease. In 2022 I sadly lost my dads best friend, affectionately known as my Uncle Danny. To lose these two awesome men to heart problems has left a big void in my life. A bigger one than I ever could have imagined. I am sure that many other people have voids in their lives following the loss of a loved one to heart disease or complications. So if I can help in any little way to help fund the research into this field, then I will.
