Team Roaring40s: Atlantic Rowing 2022

Donation protected
In December 2022, we’ll be launching our rowing boat from the Canary Islands, heading west for 3,000 nautical miles to Antigua in the Caribbean, completely unsupported. Dan and I will be setting off on a journey of 40-50 days (if all goes well), swapping two-hour shifts and rowing non-stop until we reach the other side. Hopefully, with a world record in our pockets!

To begin with, we’ll be collecting funds to enable us to complete the crossing. This will involve physical training, purchasing equipment and supplies, and educating ourselves (what we both know about ocean rowing can currently be summed up on the back of a beer mat). Beyond that, we’ll be supporting our charitable partners, chiefly The Pink Ribbon Foundation. Upon completion of the event, we’ll be auctioning our boat, the proceeds from which will also go to our chosen charities.

The Pink Ribbon Foundation supports a large number of Breast Cancer charities. As “the C word” has impacted our campaign directly (read how on our blog ) we want our challenge to mean something to anyone who’s suffered or is currently suffering from the effects of breast cancer.

To be completely frank: we need funds right now. Campaigning has begun in earnest, and we must secure equipment and training as early as possible to make this challenge a reality.

We cannot wait to push off from the dock, test ourselves physically and mentally, inspire others, and raise awareness for a highly worthy cause. We are immeasurably grateful to everyone who’s supported us!
