An epic 3000-mile row across the Atlantic, which encompasses over 1,000,000 strokes and to top it all off they are going for a world record. They are aiming to break the women's pairs world record.
The race is estimated to last anywhere from 50 to 90 days and include searing equatorial heat, ocean storms and 40 foot waves along with anything else mother nature and her friends throw at them. The race starts in the Canary Islands and finishes in Antigua.
Not only are they embarking on this mammoth challenge, but they are also raising funds for three fantastic charities, Fareshare, Mintridge and Cancer Research UK.

“We are delighted to have the support of the directors and staff at WTA. We are truly grateful for their dedication to our charity and welcome them as long term corporate supporters.”
As a business, WTA have chosen the Butterfly Children’s Hospices in Changsha, China as our supported charity for 2016. We are pleased to partner with them as a corporate sponsor.
Butterfly Children’s Hospices provides loving care and medical treatment for children with life-threatening illnesses. Some children have been abandoned. Others are brought to Butterfly when families can no longer face the journey alone. No matter how small or how sick each child is given the care and medical attention they need, the love and dignity they deserve. BCH also provides training and education for Chinese medical personnel and government officials in the art and science of palliative care for children.
We are proud to support the vital work of Butterfly Children’s Hospices. If you would like to know more about the charity or how you can get involved please visit www.butterflych.org or watch their video here
