Story

We are Justin, Toby, Caspar and George, (A.K.A - Team Oar Inspiring) and we have decided to row 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean, this December in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge to raise vital funds and awareness for Starlight Children's Foundation.

Our journey will head West from San Sebastiean in La Gomera to Nelson's Dockyard English Harbour, Antigua and Barbuda.

Here are some facts about this epic challenge:

420    - The minimum number of hours we will spend rowing on the challenge.   

9000  - The amount of calories that will be burned by each rower per day.

50ft    - This is the size of the waves we will face daily. 

1 mil   - The number of oar strokes per challenger.

We are taking on this epic challenge in a bid to raise vital funds and as much awareness as possible for a truly worthy cause - Starlight Children's Foundation.
