Challenge One
My name is Dave Dunk, I am going to row across the Atlantic in December 2021 with my buddy Jayme and, after 40 to 70 days, we will arrive in Antigua. I am not a rower but I am someone who cares passionately about making difference to people suffering from EB. I hope that our epic challenge will inspire you to care passionately too and act to make a difference Together we can #FightEB, together we will beat EB.
Challenge Two
When I thought about a charity, I remembered this programme I had seen years before. It may have been coincidence or fate perhaps, but on TV, at the time of planning, there was a series of small programmes about people living with disabilities. One of the programmes showed a girl with this terrible skin condition. She was in her 20’s. She was so positive. She knew that her life would be full of hurdles and extreme pain and yet she was more upbeat than most people I know.

Sponsorship Opportunities
There are costs involved and we are actively looking for sponsors to help make this all possible. See our Sponsorship Opportunities document.
After the crossing we intend to give inspirational talks to schools and workplaces. We will have the boat for a bit. Our aim is to get kids and adults to do something that is positive no matter how small.
