Help Get Us to the Start Line
World’s Toughest Row – Atlantic 2026
In December 2026, we will take on the World’s Toughest Row – Atlantic, rowing 3,000 miles nonstop from La Gomera to Antigua — one of the most physically and mentally demanding challenges on the planet.
Alongside our charity fundraising for the RNLI, this page exists for one clear and honest reason:
to help cover the unavoidable costs of getting to the start line.
Why we need support
Taking part in the World’s Toughest Row requires significant upfront investment before a single mile is rowed. These costs ensure the race is run safely and to the highest standards, and that we are properly prepared for the Atlantic Ocean.
Funds raised through this page will go directly towards:
• Race entry fees and official charges
• Ocean rowing boat costs
• Safety equipment (life rafts, communications, tracking, emergency systems)
Training and preparation
• Shipping the boat and equipment to and from the race
• Food, nutrition and supplies for the crossing
Every euro raised helps move us one step closer to the start line in La Gomera.
This fundraiser is not for personal profit
All funds are used solely for campaign expenses
Our separate fundraiser for the RNLI is where charitable donations should go
We truly appreciate anyone who chooses to support us — whether through donating, sharing, or simply following our journey. Without this support, the challenge simply wouldn’t be possible.
Thank you for helping us turn an ambitious idea into a reality.
