Atlantic 24
Why it matters to us
One of our own members, Mel, is preparing to take on an extraordinary challenge — rowing across the Atlantic in January 2027
Yes, the actual Atlantic. In a rowing boat. Across open ocean.
When
Saturday 27 to Sunday 28 June, 10am-10am
- The idea is simple:🚣 Keep rowing machines moving for 24 hours 🌍 Row as much of the 5,000km Atlantic distance as we can as a community 💙
Raise awareness and funds for Mel’s chosen charities 👊 Bring members, friends, family and supporters together for a proper Pulse event.
This will be open to everyone — members, non-members, friends, family, supporters and anyone who wants to come along, row, donate, cheer or be part of it.
How Atlantic 24 will work
The plan is:
- 24 hours of rowing at Pulse from 10am for 24 hours
- A big map showing the route from La Gomera to Antigua
- Live distance tracking across the 24 hours
- T-shirts available to buy in support of the campaign
- Charity donation links and buckets on the day
- Food, including a hog roast kindly supported by Mel
- Prizes, sponsor opportunities and plenty more to be revealed
You don’t need to be an elite rower. You don’t need to be super fit.
You just need to be willing to get involved.
Every metre counts.
Who is Mel
Mel’s journey is about so much more than the row itself. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 and going through surgery and treatment in 2023, Mel set herself the goal of rebuilding her fitness and taking on challenges that prove age really is just a number.
Since then, she has cycled 450km from Vietnam to Cambodia for charity, has another challenge planned later this year from Kilimanjaro to the coast, and is now preparing for the biggest one yet — rowing the Atlantic.
Mel’s chosen charities are Mind and the Huntington’s Disease Association.Mind is a charity many people will already know and care about, supporting people affected by mental health problems.The Huntington’s Disease Association is especially personal to Mel. Her sister-in-law has Huntington’s disease, as do several members of her family. It is hereditary, with a 50/50 chance of being passed on, and it is something that often flies under the radar.This is why Mel wants to use her Atlantic challenge not only to push herself, but to raise awareness for causes that truly matter.
