Having covered 500 miles of their epic challenge, Justin Coleman has decided to bid a sad farewell to the Kenneth C. Citing illness as the major factor in his decision, Justin said he was 'devastated' to be going but thanked all his sponsors and support team for their help. A fuller update on his reasons for retiring is expected on his return in a couple of weeks

Henry is continuing the challenge as a solo rower; our prayers and good wishes go with him.
