[Faceboat](http://www.faceboat.org) – not Facebook, although their logo looks very
similar – has a very succinct ask on its website. “Your photo… on a boat… rowed 
by 4 blondes… across the Atlantic to raise £250,000 for cancer charities.”

 

In time-honoured tradition the rowers are offering donor recognition in the shape
of a photo of the donor’s face on the side of the boat. Bringing the notion right
up to date, however, they are offering space in the form of a pixel ad mesh. Donors
visiting their website get to choose where on the boat they want their 2cm x 1.5cm
photo to be printed. As such they can choose to appear next to their friends or 
colleagues.

They are aiming “to take 25,000 people who have been touched by cancer with us on
our journey” so are hoping for that number of donors to support them, each with 
a minimum donation of £10. So far they are a good way short of this, but there is
still a week or so to go before they set off.
