Just before Christmas I spoke with Chris, Phil, Si and Sonny as they were days away from setting off for their mammoth challenge, rowing across the Atlantic.
It's February now and they have been back on land for a couple of weeks so I took the opportunity to get 3 of the guys back on the pod to find out how the row went.
We talk the highs and lows of ocean rowing, the hardships endured, particularly for Phil, and how teamwork plays a huge roll in achieving great successes.
The whole challenge was undertaken to raise money for The starlight foundation who supported Phil's daughter, Isla, through her Leukaemia treatment. Phil undertook this challenge personally to bring himself closer to Isla, to understand the hardship she went through as a young girl being treated for such an awful disease. It's great to hear Phil talk so openly about his bond with his now very healthy and flourishing daughter.

Great to have the boys back on the pod, take a listen, learn and grow.
