After rowing the Atlantic Ocean, Andrew Osborne is nominated for Endurance Fundraiser of the Year at the JustGiving Awards 2023

Andrew Osborne, 57, set off from the Canary Islands in January and spent 90 days rowing the Atlantic to Antigua, eating and sleeping on his six-metre boat.

His daughter, Amy, died in her sleep from an undiagnosed heart condition. She was just 25.

Through his ‘Row For Amy’ challenge, Andrew raised more than £156,000 for the screening and research charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (Cry) – far more than he initially anticipated.

Andrew has now been nominated for Endurance Fundraiser of the Year at the JustGiving Awards 2023, recognising the difference he has made for hundreds of young people and the intense physical challenge he undertook.
