More people have gone into space or climbed Everest than rowed an ocean.

This is our response to one of the world's fastest growing crimes: human trafficking.

There remains more slaves today than ever before - half of them are children.

We are embarking on this massive challenge to raise awareness about child trafficking. Please give generously to ECPAT UK and follow our work and campaigns at http://www.ecpat.org.uk/campaigns.

Thank you for your support - it will help us to help child victims of trafficking.

# The completion of the row will be dependent on raising enough corporate sponsorship to enter the race. Any donations made through JustGiving go directly to ECPAT UK's projects so money will not be refunded if the row is not completed.
