OUR WHY

Why does anyone choose to do something that makes other people gasp and question their sanity?  

Why does someone voluntarily choose to sacrifice their time, effort, energy and money to do something that they don’t need to do? 

Why do people train through the pain and find themselves at a start line, ready to spend weeks in some of the most dangerous environments imaginable without support? Why do people decide to row an ocean? 

Let’s ask our team and find out their WHY?

  • I have always wanted to do something out of the ordinary but for one reason or another he never committed to doing it. After a change in personal circumstances and after following WTR for a few years, now is my time to push myself to my limit physically and mentally and I cannot wait for the challenge to begin. The RNRMC was always a charity I was going to raise for being ex-Navy myself. I personally know some colleagues and families who have struggled whether it be during active service or when then have left and the RNRMC have stood up and supported them. I was proud to have served my country and I would be delighted if we can raise money to help them with their continued support of our sailors, marines, and their families. Mind, Body & Sole was another charity I feel strongly about as it supports mental health. The subject is not as taboo as it was say 20 years ago however charities like MBS are breaking the stigma and I am all for this and especially the support they give! Everyone can probably say they have felt anxious or even have had mental health issues or at least know someone who has – and not knowing where to turn. Raising awareness of the Mind, Body & Sole charity is massive and so is raising funds for them. If we somehow manage to help or save one person then the race has been more than worth it!
