Rowers The Dark Trio

The Dark Trio are three military trained friends who took the incredible challenge of rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean.

The Dark Trio's fundraising journey

Fundraisers training take on the challenge of rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean.

On 12 December 2022, the Dark Trio started their incredible challenge of rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. This has been an ambition of theirs for nearly 12 years.

They're racing against 46 other boats, travelling on a 28ft rowing boat.

They are expected to finish the race in mid-January 2023.

Their current fundraising target stands at an amazing £200,000, and we are hoping to welcome them to the office soon and host an event to get the YoungMinds logo stuck onto their boat, so keep an eye out for updates on this!
