DS Medical: Sponsors of the Minds Matter Atlantic Rowing Challenge
Posted by DS Medical on 1st Oct 2022
We are proud to be sponsors of the Minds Matter Atlantic Rowing Challenge taking place this December.
Hampshire Firefighters Stu & Craig are raising awareness of mental health and supporting Solent Mind & The Firefighters Charity by taking on the world's toughest row: The Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge!
The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge takes place over 3,000 nautical miles of treacherous, shark infested waters from San Sebastian in the Canary Islands to Nelson's Dockyard in Antigua & Barbuda.
Throughout the journey, the team are likely to battle severe sleep deprivation, 20ft waves, salt sores, huge calorie deficits, hallucinations, minimal shelter and homesickness – particularly on Christmas Day.
Mental health issues are responsible for 72 million working days lost, costing the UK economy £34.9 billion each year. Poor mental health severely impacts both individuals and their families, especially those in the emergency services.
