It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
The rowing race, equivalent to around four Sydney to Hobart yacht races, will see the boys row shifts day and night in tandem- 2 hours on, 2 hours off, 24 hours a day and will take them just over a month to complete. Throughout the journey, the boys having all rowed competitively in the past, are eager to not only win the race in under 35 days and be the youngest Australian four to row the Atlantic but raise an incredible $500,000 for mental health.
"We are all dedicated to completing this immense endeavour with fortitude, echoing the struggle of those facing mental health challenges across Australia."

The charity in question is Gotcha4Life, a not-for-profit Foundation that enables men and boys to develop better social and emotional connections with their mates, families and community, placing equal importance on maintaining a healthy mind as a healthy body. The team will be leveraging their platform to raise funds for mental health, giving voice and awareness to the challenges that are too often silent.
The Shaw and Partners Atlantic crew will undertake the world's toughest row in a Rannoch R45, a 28ft ocean rowing boat that is designed specifically for rough open ocean crossings. The Rannoch R45 is not your conventional rowboat with less floor space than your average bathroom and two small cabins to house the team of four for over a month.
