UBBC Alumnae Take on Trans-Atlantic Challenge

This December, UBBC alumnae Hannah Walton (2012-2015) and Florence Ward (2011-2015) will be setting out to break two world records in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. Their goal is to become the fastest, and youngest female trio to row across the Atlantic Ocean.

Together with friend Georgie, Hannah and Florence will row 3,000 miles from La Gomera to Antigua. They will be supporting two charities: RTHM (founded in memory of UBBC alumnus René Zamudio) and Women in Sport.

To support the trio in their mission, you can join their "250 club", through which you can fund their row and get your name on their boat.

We wish the girls the very best of luck as they gear up to face the challenge!
