Welcome! My name is Tommy Tippetts and this is my website covering my attempt to row the Atlantic Ocean, setting out in January 2012.

Below is my blog where you will be able to keep up to date with all areas of my preparation, from sponsors to securing a boat and all my training to prepare for such a challenge.

Please also take some time to look at why I am doing this row, raising money and awareness for mental health in this country and any small donation you can make will go a long way to improving lives of many people around the UK. Please click below to sponsor me on my row in aid of Mind. I am hoping to raise £25,000 for the charity and any contribution you can make, small or big, would be gratefully received.

Just a week after the fundraiser dinner I was in London Victoria Station for my big charity event for Mind. Set on the main concourse of the station the plan was that I would row for 24 hours (although not non-stop, only breaking to eat and toilet stops) whilst on a second rowing machine I had friends and family rowing for an hour each. Now I had written to all the big train stations in London asking about the possibility of putting on this event and Victoria were actually the only ones who came back and said it was feasible and that they could give me a date to do it. Not only that they really did help me out in getting the best pitch possible (right in the middle of the concourse) and not having to pay for it, and for that I am hugely thankful to the station....
