🌊🚣♂️ An Epic Brickies Adventure Nears the Finish Line 🚣♂️🌊
Many of you will already be aware that one of our brilliant Brickies franchise owners, Ben, who runs Brickies Club - Windsor & Maidenhead, has been taking on an extraordinary challenge far beyond the LEGO table.
On Sunday 14th December, Ben and his rowing partner Henry set off on the World’s Toughest Row, tackling an incredible 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean, rowing from La Gomera to Antigua.
After 45 days at sea, battling exhaustion, isolation, and the relentless power of the ocean, they are now into the final 100 miles of this once-in-a-lifetime challenge.
Ben has recorded a special message for our Brickies LEGO builders, sharing how much he is looking forward to returning home and getting back to the LEGO bricks very soon.
Ben and Henry, known as the Ocean Oarsmen, have been rowing not only for personal achievement, but to raise vital funds for their local children’s charity, Alexander Devine Children's Hospice Service, supporting children and families when they need it most.
Please join us in cheering Ben on for his final strokes towards Antigua and, if you are able, supporting this amazing cause via their JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/ocean-oarsmen-1
Every message of encouragement will mean the world as they push through these last miles. Let us show Ben the strength of the Brickies community
