Two Scottish rowers are to cross the Atlantic, as they aim to raise £200,000 for charity.
Sabrina Simpson, who is from Stirling, and Leanne Maiden, will take on the 3,000 mile challenge later this year.
They've already raised £75,000.
Leanne and Sabrina, who call themselves She rOars, had never rowed before they signed up to the challenge during lockdown, in February 2021.
They are aiming to donate to their three charities - The Women’s Fund for Scotland, The Polar Academy and The Mabel Foundation.
So far, they have £75,000 from a range of sponsors and donors, including Tunnock’s.
Mum-of two, Leanne, 41, an osteopath, of Bearsden, Dunbartonshire, said: “We’re well on our way, but we need others to get behind us.
“We’re training hard on rowing machines and on the rivers and lochs of Scotland, before we move on to the Irish Sea, the western side of Scotland and the Caledonian Canal.”
Sabrina, 44, a pilates instructor, of Stirling said: “The record we are trying to beat is 45 days but the estimated time for the journey is 50-60 days.
“We’re so grateful to Tunnock’s for their cash injection.
“We’ll eat freeze dried food during the challenge but have a huge supply of caramel wafers on board to keep us going.”
