One of the longest standing indoor rowing World Records was broken earlier this month when Phil Craze of Team AEGON rowed 313,248m to beat the existing 30-39 Hwt 24 hour record - one that has stood for 10 years - by 5,565m. Phil was rowing to raise money for the Stroke Association and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society Scotland and with good reason:

"Just over a year ago, my older brother suffered a stroke at the age of 37 and for six months was partially paralysed down his left side. Luckily, he has now made a full recovery. My mother-in-law has suffered from MS for the past 20 years. This affects her daily life and has recently caused her to stumble and break her leg. Both my brother and my mother-in-law have benefited from the Stroke Association Scotland and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society Scotland charities therefore these are important to me and I wanted to do something that would show my thanks for all their hard work."
