Help for Heroes (H4H) will benefit financially when a Herefordshire man rows 2,598 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n
Mike Evans is planning to complete the gruelling task in aid of the military charity, although he first needs to raise his own funding of £16,500, reveals the Ledbury Reporter.<\/p>\n
Mr Evans has set a hugely difficult target for the challenge – to break the current world record of 32 days to complete the route. In fact, he is aiming to finish in under 30 days.<\/p>\n
"We will all be put through the most demanding experience of our lives, not just physically but mentally," he explained.<\/p>\n
As part of an eight-man team, Mr Evans will set off from Gran Canaria on board Titan and then row towards the Caribbean island of Barbados.<\/p>\n
Before the challenge can begin, he must raise £15,000 to run the boat and £1,500 for travel costs and accommodation.<\/p>\n
