The World's Toughest Row
On 12th December four friends from the East of England are taking on The World's Toughest Row.; Rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic, from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean. No engine. No support boat. Just four blokes, a set of oars, and a carbon-fibre boat called Stephen.
For around 40 days they will live in a two-hours-on, two-hours-off rowing cycle, battling sleep deprivation, big seas, salt sores and the occasional curious marlin.
They are are doing this to support three incredible charities: The Giving Tree, East Anglian Air Ambulance, and James’s Place.
