“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.” – Nelson Mandela, at the Laureus World Sports Awards in 2000

We’re team Through The Blue - Ana, Matt, Antonia and Cal – and we’ve come together for one extraordinary challenge: to row across the Atlantic Ocean in 2026 as part of the World’s Toughest Row. In the process, we’re raising funds for Laureus Sport for Good — an organization that believes in the transformative power of sport to change lives.

We each have our own story of how sport has helped us overcome challenges and find purpose through pushing boundaries. Sport brought us together, and we share a belief in the power of sport to transform lives. Whether through mental health recovery, building confidence, or connecting with a community, we know firsthand how sport can change everything.

That’s why we’re raising money for Laureus Sport for Good, an incredible global movement that uses the power of sport to help children and young people overcome adversity and build a better future. Laureus’ programs reach young people in some of the most disadvantaged communities worldwide, offering opportunities for personal development, education, and positive change. By supporting our row, you’re helping Laureus provide more opportunities for young people to experience the life-changing benefits of sport.

Join us in our mission to cross the Atlantic, push ourselves to the limit, and raise funds for an incredible cause that uses the power of sport to change the world.
