Shropshire pair's fundraising steams ahead as bad weather delays Atlantic feat
The start of their epic voyage may have been delayed by bad weather, but it is full steam ahead for the fundraising effort for an intrepid Shropshire duo who are hoping to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic.
A new YouTube video highlighting the efforts of Harry Martin-Dreyer and Alex Bland has been published ahead of the pair hitting the water this week.
The pair have already raised more than £125,000 for their two chosen charities, Cure Leukaemia and diabetes charity JDRF, with the former organisation putting together a three-minute video about their incredible adventure.
Alex, who is originally from Cound, near Shrewsbury, and Harry, from Lyneal, near Ellesmere, first met at Shrewsbury School.
They hope to leave this Thursday if weather conditions allow.
