Dinger is a former Royal Marine who since leaving the military has completed a number of arduous challenges.  None however are quite as tough as the New York to United Kingdom solo unsupported row that he was about to commence.  What Dinger is about to commence will be a world first if he is successful.  As those familiar with Ocean rowing will recognise that there is normally a crew of rowers aboard their craft working on a routine enabling there always to be someone rowing and making progress. As a solo rower, when you&apos;re not rowing you&apos;re at the mercy of the elements.   The North Atlantic is a very different crossing than the more usual Mid Atlantic route.  Fewer than 60 people have EVER rowed across the North Atlantic while over 100 people rowed the Mid Atlantic last year alone.  Follow Dinger @ny2uksolorow on instagram and facebook or keep up to date on the website at: www.ny2uksolorow.co.uk Dingers chosen charities are:The SBS Association: https://www.theassociation.org.uk Bravery: https://www.bravery.org.uk Follow Gaz at Duratus UK (www.DuratusUK.com) instagram at Duratus_GazFacebook at Duratus UK

Gaz talks to Fergus and Jonny before their epic challenge next weekend on 1/11/2020⁣⁣42,200m elevation gain.⁣⁣Ben Nevis x 32.⁣⁣540km.⁣⁣⁣Monotony. Dread. Loneliness. Pain. Darkness. Doubt. Fear. Fight. Shame. ⁣⁣⁣⁣Everything that this project represents, and sadly, what thousands of men suffer from in silence every single day. ⁣⁣⁣⁣This doesn’t have to be the case. ⁣⁣⁣⁣We all have our own uphill battles to face, but there is no reason for us to fight them alone. This is why  @Fergus Crawley is not tackling this year alone, his coach and friend, Jonathan Pain is joining him, so that they can fight through this together, in the knowledge that we are stronger together.⁣⁣⁣⁣They will be open, they will be honest, and they will be vulnerable for the sake of our own progress - as we all should be.⁣⁣⁣⁣This year, more than ever, we need to take a stand against stigma, a stance against shame, and galvanise a genuine, positive change for the sake of men everywhere. ⁣⁣⁣⁣As we try to take control of a global pandemic, we must try not to lose ourselves in the chaos. This year has flipped the world upside down, but all that can be done is control what we can, and make sure that we look after others. We have a role to play: talk more, listen more, and support one another. ⁣⁣⁣⁣They&apos;re ambitiously hoping to raise £47,132 to take his cumulative total to £100k, and can only get there with your help.⁣⁣⁣⁣So please share far and wide, donate where you can, and most importantly, start those conversations that could save your life, or that of another...⁣⁣ Details on how you can be more directly involved to follow!⁣⁣⁣⁣Some people will call this insane, foolish, potentially worse...

Mark Colbourne MBE overcame life changing adversity in the form of a severely broken back to a paralympic gold medal.  A paragliding accident in his 30's when his life's passion was living a healthy active lifestyle came as a crushing blow.  But from keeping a positive mindset, setting goals and taking on the challenges in his way saw him far exceed any expectations his doctors could have foreseen.  He threw himself into cycling and it was only a few short years before he found himself in the dream position of being in the final of London 2012 Olympic track event. Mark tells his inspiring story in this video and we can all learn more about the benefits of chasing big goals, fully committing to something, never giving up and the power of a strong mindset.
