Integra Support Atlantic Dash Challenge

6 December 2011

John Haskell, husband of Integra's marketing Sian Haskell, has now set off on his bid to row 3000 miles across the Atlantic. John and his fire fighter colleague, Jamie Windsor from South Wales Fire Service will now face the greatest challenge of their lives.

As Team Atlantic Dash on rowing boat, The Pendovey Swift 2, they are taking 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 Fire Fighters Charity, Breast Cancer Care, Help for Heroes and WRVS (Women's Royal Voluntary Service). John and Jamie 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.

More people have been in space or have climbed Everest than have rowed the Atlantic.  If you would like to support Team Atlantic Dash on their journey and to help them raise £100,000 please visit their website www.atlanticdash.co.uk.

John and Jamie would like to thank everyone at Integra and members together with suppliers from within the industry who have supported them so far. They were delighted to hear of the recent donation received following the Spotlight 2011 Integra National Conference which totalled over £2500 and which will go directly to their nominated charities. This follows on from the Integra Marketing teams skydive earlier in the year which raised over £3000 again thanks to everyone within the industry.
