Ocean Brothers Greg & Jude - who are rowing the Atlantic Ocean in January 2018 to raise £100,000 for the British Skin Foundation's skin cancer research in memory of their father Peter Massey -started their next phase of training for their epic voyage from Putney Embankment this week. 3 x Olympic Gold Rower Andrew Triggs-Hodge stopped by on Monday (16 October) to voice his support and pss on tips: ""Good luck Greg & Jude and congrats on taking on such an epic challenge! I hope in every way it is a success, both in raising money for skin cancer research and awareness of such an important cause."

Both novice rowers, the brothers, Greg (27) a junior doctor and Jude (18) are now training hard for their unsupported 3,000 mile journey in a 20 foot boat across the Atlantic Ocean.

Inspired by their dad's love of the sea, Greg & Jude wanted to raise money for skin cancer research following his passing in 2015 after a 16 year battle with basal cell carcinoma. An ocean challenge seemed like the only option.
