Be inspired - Lin Griesel and Rachel Smith

"The waves were 20-foot, 30-foot, 40-foot high and breaking over the boat, breaking over us... and about 300 miles from the finish, we had a capsize..."

In December last year, two incredible women took on an incredible challenge for Breast Cancer Care.

Lin Griesel and Rachel Smith left their dock in the Canary Islands knowing that the next time they saw land, they would be some 2,935 miles away in Antingua.

76 days, 11 hours and 12 minutes later they had rowed their pink boat, Babara Ivy, across the Atlantic Ocean - all in a bid to raise over £90,000 for Breast Cancer Care.
