Ordinary People can do Extraordinary Things – rowing the Atlantic ocean and a cancer diagnosis with Felicity Ashley

Felicity Ashley is a remarkable individual who has faced incredible challenges and emerged stronger. Felicity shares her extraordinary journey of completing the world's toughest row - a 3,000-mile unsupported journey across the Atlantic Ocean—alongside three other working mothers. Just weeks after this monumental achievement, she was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer, putting her mental and physical resilience to the ultimate test.

• The motivation behind Felicity's decision to row the Atlantic and the support from her family.
• The intense training regimen and the physical and mental challenges faced during the 40-day journey at sea.
• The signs and symptoms of Felicity's cancer diagnosis and the importance of early detection.
• How exercise played a crucial role in her recovery and mental well-being during treatment.
• The concept of post-traumatic growth and how adversity can lead to personal transformation.
