First ever fours boat to row the Pacific Ocean.
Fastest ever Pacific Ocean row.
MISSION
A group of women, rowing the South Pacific Ocean in April 2015, from America to Australia 8,446 miles, to support women that have had to face adversity and overcome life changing events.
CHARITIES
We aim to raise over a quarter of a million pounds for our 2 charities, to support those who show true resilience; Walking With the Wounded and Breast Cancer Care survivors.
The money we raise for Walking With the Wounded will be setting up the first ever fund for injured servicewomen and supporting their re-education and re-training pathway to create a new journey and focus for them after injury.
Breast Cancer Care is our second charity, where the money we raise will continue to support the carers and services that BCC provide to those fighting breast cancer and their families.
