from experiencing the pain and distress dementia causes. Elaine dedicates this row to her parents who she knows will be with her all the way and who instilled in her the love of the outdoors from a very early age and the drive that will make the crossing possible.
The Charity Alzheimer Scotland is Scotland’s leading voluntary organisation helping people with dementia, their carer’s and families. Some of the services they provide are day centres, home support, drop-in centres, support groups, one-on-one support, information and advice. They are committed to providing a high quality and free service which includes a helpline and user-friendly website. Elaine had used some of these services for herself.

By competing in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, Elaine will: • Raise vital funds for Alzheimer Scotland. And Elaine will be: • The second Scottish woman to attempt a solo Atlantic row • Part of an elite few women to solo row, unsupported (no physical contact/passing supplies, on the water) The first, Roz Savage, took 103 days. • Attempting to be the fastest solo women across the Atlantic • In her element!
Costs Due to the nature of this challenge, the cost is a huge consideration. But, in addition to raising funds to actually enter the race, Elaine is aiming to raise in the region of £30,000 for Alzheimer Scotland. Elaine needs to raise in excess of £70,000 in order to take part in this race, and further monies to donate to Alzheimer Scotland. This huge task relies on the generosity and support of companies, organisations and individuals who are keen to highlight and help the work of the chosen charity. More information about the challenge can be found at
