I have chosen the charity 'Children On The Edge' to benefit from sponsorship of my rowing challenge and have set up a charity fundraising page to enable online donations/ sponsorship:

Children On The Edge are a small but very efficient charity based in Chichester, who provide critical help for children overseas who are 'living on the edge' and are often overlooked by other agencies. Typically, they will provide shelter, support and schooling for children who, through conflict, ethnic cleansing or persecution, may have lost their parents, family members, homes and familiar surroundings and could be alone and frightened.

Since I will be covering all the costs of my rowing challenge, every donation will benefit the charity in full.

Starting from and finishing in Mudeford, the total distance around the Isle of Wight is about 75 miles. My plan is to row 12-15 miles each day, so it should take me about six days to complete, although this will be subject to tidal flows each day.
This blog page is intended for people who are not on Facebook.
If you are on Facebook, I have set up a group page for the challenge which will be updated before and during the row:
