On the 19th of November 2024, The Fleet Care Home in Dartmouth hosted a day of fun, fitness, and fundraising. Our ‘Row the Dart’ event set out to row the entire length of the River Dart, some 75km in support of the ‘Make a Wish’ charity.
With the support, of staff, residents and our fantastic local community we not only managed the 75km distance but smashed it!
As the day went on and the massive support we had received, a new target was set; to Row the Dart and back! We ended up Rowing over 150 km!! Making the distance, there and back!
