On the 4th December 2011, Firefighters John Haskell and Kevin Dite (South Wales Fire & Rescue Service) will begin one of the world’s toughest rowing challenges, and row across the Atlantic Ocean
unsupported in order to raise money and awareness for The FireFighter Charity, Help For Heroes, and Breast Cancer Care.

This 3000 mile rowing challenge will see them pushed to intolerable levels of physical and mental endurance as they cross the atlantic in the Woodvale Ocean Challenge before reaching the island of Barbados. The firefighters are going to be making an official visit to the headquarters of the Barbados
Fire Service where a special plaque will be presented to Chief Fire Officer Wilfred Marshall.
