Team Margot Atlantic Rowers

[p]In December 2019, we are taking part in the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge and are rowing across the Atlantic Ocean in support of Team Margot Foundation. [/p][p]It will take 1.5 million strokes for us to row across the Atlantic Ocean and we want 1.5 million people to register as stem cell donors.[/p][p]Together, if we succeed, then statistically there will be over 15,000 patients who WILL now get a potentially life saving stem cell transplant.[/p][p]Please join the stem cell register and go on standby to save a life.[/p][p]Register here: dkms.org.uk/team-margot/[/p][p]Ineligible ? Already registered ? then please share this message and encourage 'Just One More' to do the same.[/p][p]#WeRowYouRegister[/p][p]All / any financial donations are most welcome and will go towards supporting the fantastic work of Team Margot Foundation in two ways:[/p][p]To support the ongoing development of givingtohelpothers.org an education resource for primary school aged children (5-11 years old), which promotes all forms of donation, especially in the black, Asian, mixed race and minority ethnic (BAME) communities where the need is greatest.
