Your “Daily Dose of Uplift” for February 16th:
Frank Rothwell has both broken a record and made a massive contribution to a great cause.
Rothwell has become the oldest person to row unassisted across the Atlantic Ocean, raising more than $1 million for Alzheimer’s research in the process.
The 70-year-old is from Oldham, England. He set off the Canary Islands on December 12th and crossed the finish line in Antigua 56 days later. He completed the 3,000 mile journey a week ahead of schedule.
As of February 16th, he has raised £1,048,783 for Alzheimer’s research.
