An award winning Gaelic TV and radio presenter is taking to the waves once again
for charity. Niall Iain Macdonald, 37, will row the length of the Western Isles
-
Niall Iain departs Castlebay at 8.30am tomorrow (Wed) and hopes to complete the 100
mile challenge non-
The broadcaster is currently busy with preparations for his ‘NY2SY: Solo North Atlantic Row 2012’, when he will attempt to row solo from New York to Stornoway at the end of May next year.
Niall Iain said: "I've been wanting to tackle this route through the Minch all summer and I'm glad that I can do one final row before the end of the year.
“It will be my longest one to date, 100 miles over three days, and it will be strange as I will be rowing in darkness, more than daylight, due to the short days. I am aiming to be back in time for the ‘Children In Need Ceilidh’ at BBC Radio nan Gaidheal on Friday night so Pudsey will have to do a shift or two on the oars to make sure we make it!"
He hopes to raise £5000 for this year BBC Children In Need appeal and has set up a JustGiving page for anyone wishing to support his efforts with a donation: www.justgiving.com/greatminchrow
His progress can also be tracked via his JustGiving page throughout the challenge.
