Our mission is to push the limits of human endurance, resilience and teamwork. We are committed to inspiring others by taking on the World’s Toughest Row, whilst breaking a record along the way. Through our journey, we aim to raise awareness, funds and support for causes close to our hearts.
That all the children in the UK are able to think big and DREAM. We want kids to know that nothing is too big or too hard to achieve. Everything is possible!
To inspire the youth of today!
We are showing the next generation that anything is possible with determination and perseverance. No matter what, you can overcome barriers and boundaries if you have a dream and strive to achieve it! By talking to schools and youth organisations about our row, we hope to inspire kids to be resilience and learn how to overcome challenges they may face. Ups and downs are a part of life, and when taking on a challenge like this, disappointments and let-downs are a massive part of it. We started this campaign when Anna was 15, and Rowan was 17. We hope to inspire the next generation to take on challenges and eventually you will succeed. We want to get this message to all the kids in the UK that they should dream big!
To Raise Awareness and Funds for Teenage Cancer Trust
Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words "you have cancer". They will each need specialist nursing care and support to get them through it. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need - so no young person faces cancer alone. When choosing our charity, Teenage Cancer Trust was a no-brainer. As three young people, we know how lucky we are to be in this situation and be able to do the row. We understand that there are so many children out there who would not be able to do this, due to factors out of their control. We aren't doing the row because we can, we are doing it because they can't.
Break the World record for the youngest team
The Three Flying Fish started in February 2022. It stemmed from Dave Dunk, Anna's dad, who completed the row in just over 51 days. This inspired Anna and Rowan to take on this massive challenge. At the time of the race start, Anna and Harry will be 19 years old and Rowan will be 21. This means we will smash the record and be the youngest team to ever row any ocean. With this record pushing us to be the best versions of ourselves, we can't wait to start rowing! Fun Fact - Whilst in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, we will celebrate Harry's 20th birthday, Christmas and New years!
