By donating directly to the project, you will be facilitating the fundraising efforts for the project to go ahead as well as donating to our nominated charity; the Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital. Once Pete has completed the row, the boat and all other equipment will be sold to raise further funds for the charity. Full details of income and expenditure are freely available and every effort will be employed to keep the charitable percentage of each donation as high as possible. Get in touch if you have any questions.
