Yorkshire rowers take on 24-hour challenge ahead of gruelling transatlantic race
['Specialist Reporter']
Yorkshire Evening Post
A pair of Yorkshire lawyers are taking on the infamous ‘World’s Toughest Row’ across the Atlantic later this year.
Submitting...David Knaggs and Richard Larking have just completed a 24-hour stationary training row cheered on by sponsors and the Yorkshire charities which will benefit from their fundraising efforts.
The duo will embark on the 3,000-mile transatlantic crossing in December, and, so far, have succeeded in raising over £150,000 for two beloved Yorkshire charities - Maggie’s, Everyone’s home of cancer care and Friends of Alfie Martin.
Racing under the team name Greens2Blue, the friends have already surpassed their original ambitious fundraising target with both charities having received over £75,000.
We hope other supporters and sponsors will join us in helping them achieve their final fundraising target for these vital Yorkshire charities.”
