Small Wonder!

A 5FT mum is aiming to become the smallest person to row solo across the Atlantic – a feat dubbed the world's toughest row.

Milli Abrams will begin the 3,000-mile challenge at La Gomera in the Canary Islands and, if successful, finish at the English Harbour in Antigua as the shortest and lightest person ever to do so.

She will celebrate her 50th birthday next January after nearly two months at sea, becoming one of just four women in their 50s to finish the row.

Milli, of East Neuk in Fife, sailed the Atlantic with her husband and son 14 years ago but "it felt a little bit easy" and she craved a bigger challenge.

She will be raising money for two charities and added: "It's not something I ever thought someone like me could do – I thought it was for more athletic types."
