Fundraiser of the Month: Adam

Our Fundraiser of the Month for September 2026 goes to the incredible Adam, who is rowing across the Atlantic to support children facing cancer.

What’s the fundraising challenge you’ve set yourself, and what made you choose exactly this challenge?

I am going to attempt to solo independently row across the Atlantic Ocean late in December of this year. I chose this challenge because I’ve always wanted dreamt about crossing the Atlantic ocean under human power. I thought about sailing but it didn’t feel physical enough right now and there were no sea kayaks for sale large enough for me to take it on but there were ocean rowing boats for sale.

I’d recently sold my house so decided to purchase a boat and start to train on it so now here I am getting prepared and raring to go. I’ve previously ran the London marathon and gained a Guinness world record whilst raiding funds for children with cancer so thought it would be a special charity to fundraise for.

How much money have you raised so far?

So far I have raised over £15000 for Children with Cancer UK.

How is your challenge going?

Yes training is going quite well. It can be tough to find the time with work and family commitments and you also need the weather to play ball to row coastally around the UK with such strong tides especially in the Bristol channel where I generally train but with the help of some good friends and family members this has been made possible.

How you can help

By fundraising, Robin has raised over £198,000,37 for Children with Cancer UK’s work, which will help us invest in more life-saving childhood cancer research. We’d like to say a huge thank you for your support – it is only thanks to supporters like you that we can continue our work.

If you would like to raise money in aid of Children with Cancer UK, we’ll help you every step of the way.
