Atlantic Dash
On 4th December 2011, two firefighters from South Wales Fireservice will face the greatest challenge of their lives.
As Team Atlantic Dash they will take part in one of the world’s toughest races rowing 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. Their goal: to raise awareness and over £100,000 for The Firefighters Charity, Help for Heroes, WRVS (Women's Royal Voluntary Service) and Breast Cancer Care.
John Haskell and Jamie Windsor, both from Cardiff, will face physical and emotional turmoil as they endure the unpredictability of the weather and the ocean in their self-sufficient bid to cross the Atlantic.
Dartex Coatings and Raskelf Memory Foam are supporting the attempt and providing some much needed comfort by donating a Raskelf mattress covered with a Dartex waterproof fabric.
