AB Graphic rows for charity
Mike Burton, managing director of AB Graphic, and Tom Salt will take part in ‘the toughest rowing race on earth’ on December 2, 2013.
The team of two will row ‘Locura’, a seven meter ocean rowing boat across the Atlantic Ocean, to raise money for the Generous Hearts Foundation (G.H.F) in Romania. Locura will be home to Burton and Salt for up to 90 days as the unique challenge tests their physical and mental endurance, through tropical storms and psychological stresses.
Registered UK Charity, the A.M.B Charitable Trust has been nominated to collect donations and these funds will then be transferred to the Generous Hearts Foundation in Romania for distribution.
Please help the team to reach their sponsorship target of 150,000 GBP by donating via their website. All the money raised will be used to aid improving the living conditions of orphaned children. Burton and Salt visited several of the orphanages early this year and saw the desperate needs of these disadvantaged children. They commented: ‘Your help is urgently needed’. The G.H.F is run and organized by a long term business associate and friend of Mike Burton.
Please see the team’s website for more information and ways to donate.
During the challenge Burton and Salt will be trackable via the web.
