About Barney's Boys.
A short description you can use as written.
Barney's Boys are four men who will row 3,700 miles across the Indian Ocean, from Geraldton in Western Australia to Grand Baie in Mauritius, setting off in May 2028. Rowing unsupported in their 9.24 metre boat, Odyssey, they expect to spend 65 to 80 days at sea. They aim to raise £250,000 for Meningitis Now, the Get A-Head Charitable Trust and The Veterans Charity.
The crew is named after Barney, the son of skipper Rod Adlington, who died of meningitis in 2005 at three years old.
