BERT:

‘..to raise a large amount of money for an extraordinary charity requires an extraordinary challenge-one that will literally test you to your very limits. This charity is close to my heart and 60 days of heightened physical and indeed mental danger is nothing compared to what these children go through. Crossing the Atlantic will be the culmination of a long held ambition. I can think of no finer test than to come face to face with your fears and having to learn to come to terms with them.’

JAMES:

‘...My reason for choosing this crossing as a way of raising money is simple...because I can. There are many people out there who, for various reasons, are unable to do something like this. Thankfully, I am not one of them. As a fit, strong and healthy chap, I want to take part in something where the challenge is tough and significant enough to warrant the amount of sponsorship I seek. It is a charity so worthy of support: the courage of these children puts us to shame. When looking back over my life, I’d like to be able to see that something I did which challenged my own nerve and strength, made a real difference to others.’
