“The Fastest Crossing of The Atlantic Ocean by an All-Female Team”

“The First 5-woman Team to Row Any Ocean”

During the middle of the night, the 5-woman Row For Freedom team stormed into the record books as they rowed their ocean-battered boat into the shining lights of Port St Charles Marina. It was the first time they had seen land since leaving The Canary Islands 45 days 15 hours and 26 minutes, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean 2613 miles away.

With only 4 days left until the girls make landfall, there’s not been a better time to make a donation and help them reach their target. As Julia said, “The best support you can give us is by donating to these worthy causes.”

There is now a text donation system to make it even easier to donate up to £10. Just follow the instructions below to get involved and help the girls towards their goal of ending human trafficking.

Text to: 70070
Then type: ROWF77 (that’s ROW then F then 77, all one word…)
Then the amount you wish to donate: £10 (the max donation here is £10, but text as many times as you like to give more!)

Texts will cost your donation, plus your normal network text messaging rate.
