Two Irish men, Robert Collins and Kevin O’Farrell, are aiming to break the world record for the fastest row from mainland Europe to mainland South America.

This is all in aid of Muscular Dystrophy Ireland & inspired by Fionn, the son of a family friend, who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

They set off earlier this month as part of a 4 man crew and hope to make it in just 48 days.

Robert Collins joined Anton from somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean to chat about the journey so far.
