There She Rows oarsome foursome’s mission

DATE

March 27, 2023

Four women are walking 100 miles carrying a rowing boat between them – the entire length of the South Downs Way – to raise awareness for women and girls in sport.

Victoria Monk (30), Ana Zigic (27), Ellie Reynolds (24) and Molly Green (26) aim to complete the walk within four days, over Easter Weekend.

Starting in Winchester and finishing in Eastbourne the foursome hope to break a world record for the longest distance travelled by foot, while carrying a boat.

The team of women hope this expedition will help shine a spotlight on the inequalities that exist for women in sport – in particular, the number of girls who drop out of sport when they reach puberty.
