As you head home this evening spare a thought for some friends of the Virgin Holidays Facebook team who have been adrift in the Atlantic for six days as they participate in the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. While we were all raising glasses over Christmas, poor James and Bertie were battling 25 foot waves and the loss of their oars to raise money for a charity, Facing the World (www.facingtheworld.net), which works to provide life-changing facial reconstructive surgery by some of Britain's leading surgeons to children from the world's poorest countries.
This incredibly brave pair have set themselves the task of rowing from the Canary Islands to Barbados in the hope of raising £300,000 for the charity so make sure to check out their Facebook page and show your support.
