Meet Pamela!

Unlike the team, Pamela has made the crossing before.

It’s a positive feature of the mission that our boat is reused. It is also reassuring to know that our vessel is up to the task!! Pamela is pristine again with a large unpainted area ready to be adorned with sponsors’ branding.
The boat is named after Greg’s mum and Elliot’s grandmother, who was the inspiration for the Collins family's massive charitable efforts. While their foundation has raised money for many different charities, this challenge is focused on Greg's pet cause, The Matt Hampson Foundation.

Sustainability

The boat is completely self sufficient, equipped with all of our food, drink and survival equipment. Electricity for essential navigation, water and communications devices is generated by solar panels – sustainable transport at its purist.

Make a Donation

Sponsorship opportunities are now closed, but companies and individuals can still help raise money for the Matt Hampson Foundation by making a donation to our cause.

Support Our Cause

We are going to row across the Atlantic. Yes, you read that right, the four of us are going to row 3,000 miles from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua totally unassisted as part of the 2025 World's Toughest Row Atlantic. We are raising money for The Matt Hampson Foundation and The Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Trust.

So far, we have been totally self-funded and have purchased our boat, Pamela. We still have to raise funds to get us to the starting line and are asking you to help us. Please donate if you can to help us on this adventure of a lifetime.
