A man who lost his daughter to an undiagnosed heart condition has rowed an ocean and raised £140,000 in her memory.
He set off from Gran Canaria on January 8 to row 3,000 miles in honour of his daughter Amy who died in her sleep five years ago at the age of 25.
Her dad’s efforts will help hundreds of young people to be tested for undiagnosed heart conditions.
Andrew set himself a fundraising target of £150,000 for the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young, which would allow 1,500 children to be tested.
Andrew said: “If I can raise enough funds for CRY to test hundreds of children and therefore prevent the tragic loss to a family of a much loved child, then it will have all been worth every pull on the oars and every mile of the journey.”
