Rowing Trio Aims for Youngest Female Atlantic Crossing
1 Jul
Summary
- Three young women will attempt a 3,000-mile ocean rowing challenge.
- They aim to become the youngest female trio to ever cross the Atlantic.
- One rower dedicates the journey to a friend lost to bone cancer.
A trio of young women is gearing up for an extraordinary 3,000-mile ocean rowing expedition. Liv Stocks, 22, from East Yorkshire, will embark on this demanding journey alongside Jenna Vincent, 25, from Dorset, and Meg Neely, 24, from Wiltshire.
Their ultimate goal is to become the youngest female trio to successfully navigate the Atlantic Ocean. The challenging voyage is part of the "World's Toughest Row" event, set to commence in December.
Stocks is undertaking this significant challenge in memory of her school friend, Luke Stevens, who tragically passed away from bone cancer at age 17 in 2021. The funds raised will benefit "A Shining Light," a charity established to support NHS services and the Teenage Cancer Trust.
"It's just a really special charity that is making a difference on the ground for children and young adults who are going through some of the toughest times of their lives," Stocks shared about the cause. The team's vessel has been named 'Stevo'.
