MDL Marinas to row 910 miles for local charity
MDL Marinas has launched a charitable initiative which will see its team and members raise money for Ocean Youth Trust South by rowing a combined total of 910 miles to help raise funds.
The initiative has been created after being inspired by the Land Rover BAR team who, in preparation for the America’s Cup, rowed 910 miles in seven weeks.
To conquer the challenge MDL will install rowing machines across 19 of its marinas starting in Northney, Queen Anne’s Battery, Penton Hook and Hythe Marina Village, where team members and customers will be challenged to row as far as they can to raise funds for such a worthy cause.
The rowing challenge will culminate at Southampton Boat Show with a final ‘row in’. One rower will be on their stand to give people a chance to show what they can do and go head to head against their friends, all in the name of a good cause.
Adrien Burnand, Head of Marketing at MDL Marinas, commented: “The 35th America’s Cup may have come to an end for Land Rover BAR but what an incredible journey and one that MDL is honoured to be part of. The training begins now for 36th America’s Cup which we fully support. We are all very excited about the rowing challenge and are looking forward to seeing all of our team, as well as many of our willing members, row up a storm in one of our 19 UK marina locations.”
