Perth women take on gruelling rowing journey for charity
By Brooke Rolfe
For 45 relentless days, four Perth women will eat, sleep and row in two-hour shifts across the Atlantic Ocean, pushing their bodies and minds across 4800km in The World’s Toughest Row.
They will be one of the first female Australian teams of four to complete the gruelling self-supported journey, which will set off in December from San Sebastian De La Gomera in Spain and end at Nelsons Dockyard, Antigua.
Chelsea Tanner, an OT, Micah Manger, a search and rescue crewperson, Cassie Gaff, a retrieval nurse, and Laura Lilly, a school teacher, originally signed up for an “ultimate girls trip”, but it soon turned into something far bigger.
