AN EVENING WITH THE ATLANTIC LIONS // 13 JAN
3000 miles. 60 + days. 4 men. 1 boat. It’ s no surprise that more people have been into space, or climbed Everest, than have rowed the Atlantic. It takes a certain kind of person to keep going when faced with exhaustion, hallucination, blisters, salt rashes, sharks and sleep deprivation. That’ s why the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge was one of the toughest races on earth. Listen to those that took part to find out what it really meant to them, ask questions, and most importantly help them achieve the £ 100,000 target they set to help MS suffers locally and throughout the UK. Tickets sold on behald of Chestfield Rotary.
