In December 2024, four everyday dads, currently unencumbered by any meaningful seafaring experience, will attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a rowing boat as part of the World’s Toughest Row, organised by Atlantic Challenge.

Like many other dads they have served their time performing simple but noble tasks of fatherhood such as removing spiders from rooms, clearing blocked drains and doing late night taxi runs.

Now, they plan to row almost 5,000 kilometres west from the Canary Islands to Antigua & Barbuda to raise funds for charities that benefit young people in Ireland.
