The rowing journey has been challenging.....   Message List

.....in more ways than one. 
 
If you haven't been following Paul's Atlantic journey through Row For Hope, you've missed a wonderful adventure.  Unfortunately, reaching the true goal has been even more of a struggle.
 
First of all, go to the blog http://solorow.blogspot.com/ and read about Paul and his trip across the Atlantic.  Great stories of sharks, Portuguese Man-o-wars, tanker ships and barnacles await. 
 
Secondly, read the other story behind the trip.  After losing his mom to cancer, Paul set out to raise money for cancer research. 
 
The best news of the trip so far is the news below......

Taking inspiration from Paul Ridley's incredible solo row across the Atlantic, Bob Glendening has generously offered to match all new donations to www.rowforhope.com from members of the rowing community. His generosity also stems from his family's devotion to rowing and its personal experience with cancer. The Glendening Boat House at Colgate was given by the family in 2004 in memory of his mother, who lost her battle with cancer in 2000.

So if you row and you want to show your support for a fellow rower who's crossing the Atlantic solo and unsupported, please consider an online donation to www.rowforhope.com.

Please be sure to add "Glendening Challenge" when completing the Gift Information section online at www.rowforhope.com.

I've donated already and will be doing so again with the Glendening Challenge.  I hope you can do the same!
