Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge · 10 December 2023

The Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation was set up in January 2011, in memory of Grace Crocker, who grew her angel wings aged 11 weeks. Grace was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (A congenital heart disorder in which the left side of the heart, particularly the left ventricle, is underdeveloped. The first part of the aorta may also be abnormal. Affected babies usually develop severe heart failure within the first few days of life), and had open-heart surgery when she was just 5 days old. Her family lived in Jersey, and so they had to move to Southampton for three months whilst Grace recovered from her surgery, including her brother and sister as well as her mum and dad. She met lots of friends and family when she was allowed back home to Jersey, and in the month that she was home, she touched so many people’s lives. As a result of our own experience, we set up this charity with the support of friends and family, with the aim to help other families from Jersey who need to spend time in the UK whilst their child receives medical treatment in a hospital. It is worrying enough when your child is sick, without being faced with additional financial worries, and so we would love to help families in some way, by providing them with some financial assistance and emotional support too.

Story

4 mums from the Island of Jersey preparing to row 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge 2023. As a team of busy working mums we want to show that age and gender are not obstacles in achieving something you really want to do, and believe strongly in the power of our combined team focus to achieve this goal.

When we succeed in our journey we will set a new world record, by being the oldest female crew to have rowed any ocean. Along the way we wish to raise funds for a charity close to our hearts; the Grace Crocker Foundation.


This incredible adventure will push us to the extremes being the ultimate test of mind and body. Please join us on our fantastic sea journey!
