Story

Join us as we embark on an unforgettable challenge across the vast and untamed waters of the Atlantic Ocean, covering over 3,000 nautical miles (5,600 kilometres) from start to finish, as we undertake a remarkable journey on behalf of Ronald McDonald House Charities UK. Braving the elements, pushing our physical and mental limits, and fuelled by an unwavering commitment to make a difference, we row with a purpose: to be a beacon of hope for families in need.

Rowing the Atlantic Ocean in the World's Toughest Row is an extraordinary feat that demands unparalleled physical and mental strength, endurance, and resilience. It is widely considered one of the most challenging endeavours on the planet, pushing participants to the limits of their capabilities. More people have been to space than have ever completed this challenge!

Each team member will row for 12 hours a day, putting immense strain on their bodies. The team will need exceptional physical endurance to maintain a consistent pace and avoid injuries, fatigue and discomfort. Adding to the challenge, the Atlantic ocean can be unforgiving and unpredictable, with potential for fierce storms, high waves, heavy winds, salt sores, and the odd shark!

RMHC UK does an incredible job of keeping families together during their most difficult times. By sponsoring our row, you can become an integral part of this mission, reaching your hand out to those in need, and bringing warmth and care to families when they need it the most.

Together, we can create a wave of positive change, bringing smiles to the faces of children, relief to their families, and a sense of community that will last a lifetime. Let us row with purpose, row with heart, and row as one, making a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most.
