Story

On 1st December 2024 I will row from Tenerife to Antigua, across the Atlantic Ocean. I am part of a crew of 10.

The venture will take 6 weeks and cover 3000 miles, and is unsupported. Any help will be around 2 days away!

We will row in 20ft waves, with the deepest part of the ocean being 5 miles.

As part of the challenge I am raising money for FORCE Cancer Charity. FORCE is an amazing local charity providing support to cancer sufferers and their family, including my own, as my mother has terminal cancer.

All monies raised go directly to them.

We row 3 hrs on/3hrs off, 24hrs a day for approximately 44 days, doing around 700,000 rowing strokes each. The longest we will sleep at anyone time will be 2 hours, and we maintain this for 6 weeks.

Rannochadventure.com provides the boat, we provide the sweat.

You can track the boat across the Atlantic by going to Rannochadventure.com and clicking the 'Track Roxy' box on the front page.

Thank you for all your kind sponsorship.
