Why are we doing this?
To raise awareness and money for causes close to our hearts.
When considering this epic challenge, the Sea Change Atlantic crew wanted their pain and efforts to benefit causes that in the darkest moments would provide motivation and purpose to push them on.
All of the crew have been affected by either Parkinson’s disease or cancer and also have a love of the ocean and a passion it’s protection and conservation.
This is why we have chosen Parkinson’s UK, Axminster and Lyme Cancer Support and Two Bays Trust.
We are very proud to represent them and they will definitely bring us motivation in the darkness of a boiling Atlantic.
