On August 25th 2007, a team of 19 girls called The Sisterhood,  took to the high seas and raced a team of boys, The Brotherhood across the Channel in dragon boats. The boys won setting a new world record, but the Sisters were just 13 minutes behind setting a new world record to be the only group of all female girls to ever cross the channel with the fantastic time of 3 hours 42 minutes.

Both groups raised money for two charities, the CHASE Ben Hollioake Fund and Babes in Arms totalling over £100,000.

This year, not content with resting on their World record laurels, The Sisterhood are once again taking on a challenge and are competing in the Worlds Longest Raft Race, a 3 day epic adventure down The Amazon in Peru. Once again the girls will be fundraising for CHASE and we wish them all the best.
