Fiona Waller carries the Olympic Flame on the Torch Relay leg between Deal and Great Stonar.Despite not being a rower and never having been to sea, Fiona rowed 6000 miles across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans to raise £50k for cancer charities. This involved 152 days at sea on a 29 foot boat rowing 12 hours a day and sleeping for 2 hours at a time. Fiona has since give talks about these experiences in schools and D of E presentations to inspire young people that anything is possible.
