Tony Chivers, who featured in the BDJ news on 12 November 2011 (page 402), has successfully completed his fundraising challenge to row 100 miles in 30 days on a Concept Rowing Machine. He took a total of 18 hours over four weeks at an average speed of 6 mph to complete the challenge.
Tony, 91, has raised over £2,500 but still has some way to go to reach his ambitious target of £10,000 for the BDA Benevolent Fund and the Dentists' Health Support Trust.
