Worlds Toughest Row – WrekinOARsome
We are a team of four rowers undertaking the Worlds toughest row in 2026 for the British Heart Foundation and Severn Hospice. All remaining sponsorship post race and on completion of the sales of the boat and equipment will go to charity.
Having only really met each other in 2023, we instantly hit it off and have made a great relationship and friendship with each other. With all the team located in the wonderful county of Shropshire, it is a great advantage for meet ups, organisation and perhaps most importantly our training sessions.
We all come from different walks of life and careers, but we have one combined goal, to row across the Atlantic Ocean as fast as possible. We will support each other both mentally and physically in the build-up to, and during this once in a lifetime experience and epic challenge.

Severn Hospice
This local charity has played a part in each of our lives, caring for people across Shropshire and Powys, looking after 3,000 families last year alone. Their work is fully dependent on charitable funds, with 87p in every £1 donated spent on caring in the Hospices, with Community Nurses, and additional services including Complementary Therapies and Lymphoedema management.
