The “Foar Brothers” rowing team, including Cedarville University alumni Thomas Hamilton, Timothy Hamilton, Trent Hamilton, and their nephew, Ben Clark, completed their 3,000-mile World’s Toughest Row on Friday, Jan. 19 when they reached Antigua.
They started their quest to row across the Atlantic Ocean on Dec. 13 from the tip of Africa. In all, they rowed continuously for 37 days, 10 hours, and 55 minutes, facing 20-foot waves, relentless sprays of salt water, hunger, and scorching heat in a test of endurance, perseverance, and faith.
To their surprise, the Foar Brothers team finished in third place.
The team participated in the race to raise money for Send Relief, a nonprofit organization that will help serve Afghan refugees. As of Monday, they had raised $45,320 – just a few thousand dollars shy of their $50,000 goal, according to the team’s GoFundMe page.
While out in the middle of the Atlantic, Thomas Hamilton and his team posted a video to the social media platform X telling about their journey to raise funds for Send Relief.
