Atlantic Dash firefighters promise a blaze of publicity as they put out a call for sponsorship support

In December 2011, two firefighters from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service will embark on the incredible Atlantic Dash challenge.

Firefighters from Cardiff Fire Stations, John Haskell and Jamie Windsor will attempt to row over 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to raise money for several charities.

The expedition will start on December 4th with the team launching their boat from the island of La Gomera in theCanary Islands. John and Jamie are expected to cross the Atlantic Ocean in approximately three months, reaching Barbados in February 2012. This extraordinary challenge will raise a lot of money for some very worthwhile charities.

However, the team desperately needs your support to have any chance of completing this gruelling task, so they are currently seeking financial sponsors.

"It will give you a taste of the fantastic enthusiasm and passion of the team members, John and Jamie, as well as the incredible and highly attractive 'Atlantic Dash' sponsorship opportunities available.

"The team have been featured on national news and have a promotional pack and promotional video on YouTube - please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9orHlL5Q0bM.

"We hope you will be able to help support John and Jamie to enable them to take part in this punishing but incredible challenge by becoming an 'Atlantic Dash' team sponsor and help them achieve their aim of raising over £100,000 for charity. We look forward to hearing from you soon".
