[p]On December the 12th of this year, four adventurous friends will embark on their challenge of a lifetime and attempt to propel themselves unsupported from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua in the Caribbean, a journey of 3,000 nautical miles - The Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. More people have climbed Everest or ventured into space than have rowed across the Atlantic. Nevertheless, Harry, Alex, Ed and Tom are intent on swelling that number.[/p][p][br][/p][p]The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge is a race like no other. It is an endurance race across one of the world's most dangerous oceans, in what is ‘The World’s Toughest Row’. Enduring sleep deprivation, dehydration, huge calorie deficits, hallucinations, salt sores, 60ft waves and physical and mental exhaustion, e will be rowing 2 hours on and 2 hours off in rotation, with the ambition to break the World Record of 29 days and 15hrs.

Our aim is to raise a further £200,000 for the CNCF and MIND.[/p][p][br][/p][p]The Christina Noble Children’s Foundation (CNCF) is dedicated to serving the physical, medical, educational and emotional needs of vulnerable children.[/p][p][br][/p][p]Mind provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem.[/p][p][br][/p][p][br][/p]
