1,000,000+
calories

Don't mention the poo bucket!
In January 2027 four ordinary men from the Southwest of England will set off on an extraordinary journey...
They are taking part in the world’s longest organised rowing event – The Atlantic Dash.
Team Sea Change Atlantic will be straining every sinew as they row across open ocean, from Rubicon Marina, Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, to arrive several weeks later at Jolly Harbour, Antigua.
Raising money for charity
Through this endeavour, with your help, the crew is committed to raising a serious amount of money for charity.
As they gather sponsors to fund their trip, the crew will be selecting charities that will benefit from the crew’s fund-raising efforts. The selected charities will reflect the crew’s Conservation, Innovation, Health themes.
Why are a bunch of middle-aged men attempting this ridiculous feat?
A personal challenge - we are a group of 50-something blokes who aren't yet ready for our pipe and slippers. We want to prove to the world that health and attitude is more important than age. The couch to 5k didn't cut it for us so we're rowing the Atlantic instead. We're all about the adventure!
A chance to give something back - each of us, or our friends and families, have benefitted over the years from the support of some fantastic charities. For us, we are excited to raise money for, and awareness of, our three health and wellbeing-related charities.
Blue Health - Our third reason for doing this row is to highlight the positive impact that the sea can have on peoples' health and wellbeing. 'Blue health' is massive for us, and we are absolutely determined to use our row to shine a light on initiatives designed to protect the sustainability of our coastal communities and our fantastic marine environment.
