Nova Training raises more than £13,000 for Young Lives vs Cancer through 24-hour endurance row
Members of a gym in Moy have raised an impressive sum for a charity which supports children and young people with cancer by undertaking a gruelling 24-hour row.
Mitchell Greer of Nova Training organised the endurance test to raise funds for Young Lives vs Cancer.
Eight teams of four took on the challenge – and raised a fabulous £13,279 for the charity while notching up an incredible 2.17 million metres on the machines.
"Cancer does not discriminate and can turn your world around in an instant, so we wanted to make a difference to these people and families facing cancer,” explained Mitchell.
The teams began their row at 6pm on Friday, February 6 and were encouraged throughout the next 24 hours by family and friends.
Water, fruit and energy drinks were donated by Centra M1 Dungannon, SPAR Quarry Lane and SPAR Seagoe.
"It was a huge effort and challenge for everyone involved,” said Mitchell.
"Thank you to everyone who supported it in any way.”
