Team B4 Ego
English Braids sponsorship Team B4 Ego has had a re-rig on 'Panic'. Our East Coast Marine Manager Peter Emmons spent an afternoon splicing all kinds of rope, ready for Panic to get racing.
Richard Wood
Richard Wood is our newest and most admired athlete who has a story to tell the world and in return will gain support and realise his dream. Richard rowed the Atlantic single handed in 2004 and raised a phenomenal amount of money for charity. In 2006 Richard suffered a stroke leaving the entire left hand side of his body paralysed. In 2015, Richard plans to row across the Pacific Ocean solo, and with one hand, a challenge that has never been done before.
Richard will be having a 4 part TV series made about him and his challenge ahead and wishes to include English Braids in the TV show and at each step of his preparation to gain as much publicity for himself as possible. Richards dream is to establish a world renowned neurological rehabilitation centre in Worcestershire as a part of his charity.
We will be with him every step of the way.
Team Carsington
