Rowathon Organising Sponsor – Cartonica Liquid Joint Supplement

Introduction

Pete Beatty, a roofer by day and adventurer by night, is aiming to become the oldest man to row across the Atlantic Ocean from Portugal to French Guyana, South America in an epic journey named “Indian Summer.”

This three-month expedition left on Wednesday 13^th December 2023 and Pete aims to complete it in April 2024. It is not just an unbelievable personal feat but a charitable endeavour which aims to raise over £100,000 for men’s mental health charity “Tough Enough To Care” and “Prostate Cancer UK.”

Pete, from Bishop’s Stortford in Hertfordshire (near Stansted Airport), will be rowing two hours on two hours off for about 100 days straight! And he’s 60!! Hence he’s called it Indian Summer because you’re never too old to do things!

Cartonica Liquid Joint Supplement is thrilled to invite your gym or sports club to join oars with Indian Summer in supporting this adventure through the “Pete Beatty Atlantic Rowathon.”

This amazing event is for your members to put their backs (arms, legs and determination!) into supporting Pete, a humble guy attempting extraordinary things, and two really important men’s health causes.
