Rowing the Atlantic will no doubt be the biggest challenge of my life; 3,000 miles of open ocean, dealing with 50ft waves, sharks, severe blistering, sleep deprivation...the list goes on!

Anyone who knows me will know that I don't just like being active myself, but love getting others active too. For me this isn't simply rowing across an ocean, it's also getting as many people involved and taking part in the build up and fundraising events as I can.

Diabetes is a great cause and part of their core purpose is getting people active and trying to fight obesity. I believe in this cause and want to do all I can to help.

Please help me raise money for this great cause!
