Above and Beyond Charities - The Charitable Trust for the United Bristol Hospitals

There will be many hardships to overcome during this "Challenge of a Lifetime", their journey will take them close to the Grand Banks with freezing temperatures, ice flows, and fog. Here they will not have the advantage of mid Atlantic trade winds, or calm seas, the crew will be prepared for mountainous seas with 30ft waves, known as one of "The Worlds Toughest Challenges", only six successful crossings have been made on this route over the past 100 years.
As well as taking on this challenge, they are also raising money to support four charities, one chosen by each of the team. Team member Chris Jenkins has chosen to raise money for the Special Care Baby Unit at St Michael’s Hospital. Chris commented “I will be raising money for the St Michaels Hospital Special Care Baby Unit in Bristol who looked after my first daughter Sophie when she was born 5 years ago. I now also have a second daughter Evie, and the best part of the challenge for me will be to see my two girls again when we get home.”
