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.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
