5500Km Atlantic rowing race
Canary Islands - Antigua
5 Jan 2010

11 Weeks "MAN-ALEEN!"
Peter van Kets a motivational speaker, and doing things like, taking a summer
stroll to the South-Pole, or crossing the Atlantic in a rowing boat the size of a caravan,
revitalises his mind and energises his sole. Then its back to work, inspiring
others with his strenghth and courage. He is naturally an example of human
ability, determination and accomplishment. And whilst we can't all do the
Atlantic (leave is often a problem at that time of year), we do all subscribe to
unbelievable achievement - super human - matrix, you name it. And talking to Pete
does inspire one to achieve and find success.
Pete's charity, the Carel du Toit Centre
is a small school for deaf children, based in his home town, East London, and
their work extends into rural Transkei too. MangoSMS was used as a fund
raiser for the charity to benefit deaf and
hearing impaired children.
MangoSMS was used in Pete's charity drive for the duration of the Peter van Kets
solo Atlantic crossing to send daily SMS
updates of Pete's progress and news to friends, fans, supporters and loved
one's.
