We are four women who refuse to be defined by society's limitations or life's storms. Between us, we've rowed oceans, battled cancer, navigated motherhood and menopause, and fought the voice that whispers "you're not good enough."  Each challenge has taught us we are capable of far more than the world - or we ourselves - often believe.

In June 2026, we'll row the Mid-Pacific not despite our struggles, but because of them. Every stroke will honour the strength we've discovered through adversity - the grit that carried us through chemotherapy, the resilience that turns self-doubt into determination, the power that emerges when women support each other. We row in partnership with Cancer Research UK, whose vital work gives hope to millions facing the fight of their lives.

This row is a statement that midlife women are just getting started, that mothers don't lose their edge, that cancer survivors can still chase horizons. We row for every woman who's been underestimated, told she's not strong enough or should play it safe. As we raise funds for Cancer Research UK, we carry with us everyone fighting their own battles.
