On 12th December, two Jerseymen, Peter Wright and Steve Hayes will start The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. Known as ‘the world’s toughest row’, the race takes participants over 3,000 miles unaided across the Atlantic Ocean. We are inviting you to get active with them and show your support in our Atlantic Accumulator starting January 1st, 2023.
The Atlantic Accumulator is a virtual event where athletes of any ability can sign up to run, walk, cycle, swim or row as far as possible during the month of January. Every activity you log will equate to points for the event, and the challenge is to accumulate as many points as you can between January 1st and 31st January for Dylan's Wings of Change.
While your efforts and fundraising within the app will directly benefit Dylan's Wings of Change, Pete and Steve will also be rowing for 2 other incredible causes on their journey.
