Row2Recovery Team Trident Launch

Row2Recovery: Team Trident
Captain Jon Armstrong RGR and Jordan Beecher, former LCpl in the Parachute Regiment who lost a leg in Afghanistan, are taking on the formidable Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge for three charities close to their hearts: Blesma, The Limbless Veterans, Dreamflight and The Royal Gurkha Rifles Trust.
Starting in December, Jon and Jordan will row over 3,000 miles to cross the Atlantic Ocean, living in a seven metre boat containing everything they need to survive. The pair will row in continuous two-hour shifts around the clock for between 40 and 90 days. 
If the row wasn’t enough, the Atlantic Ocean is a fearsome mistress, Jon and Jordan can expect up to 50 knot winds, waves the size of houses, 40 degree heat, sleep deprivation, hallucinations, sea sickness, mental and physical fatigue and will survive off military ration packs for the entire journey. 
The Launch
This event is to gather supporters and well-wishers together to wish Jon and Jordan luck, and to raise as much money as possible for the three fantastic charities.
The evening will start with a drinks reception on the iconic steps of Old College at Sandhurst, followed by a relaxed dinner in the stunning Indian Army Memorial Room. Before food is served, there will be a chance to hear a bit more about the challenge from Jon and Jordan and hear about their journey up until now. Dinner will be followed by entertainment, an auction and a raffle to raise money for the three charities. A bar will also be open for the rest of the evening for guests to mingle with the rowers.
