A man has decided to take on a challenge of a lifetime as he attempts to break a world record by rowing 3,600 miles across the Indian Ocean.
Ashley Wilson, from Wickham, wants to beat the record of 85d 2h 05min to raise awareness for three charities — Macmillan Cancer Support, Young Epilepsy and Scouts.
The challenge will be made even harder because 35-year-old Ashley has epilepsy and has on average two seizures a week. He is also still in remission from cancer, after he had Hodgkin’s lymphoma when he was 19.
