Skipper's pride at Row2Recovery's Atlantic crossing

The skipper of the group of injured veterans who rowed across the Atlantic has spoken of his pride at completing the 46-day challenge.

Cayle Royce, who lost both legs when he was injured by a bomb in Afghanistan, said: "We are so proud to be the first all-amputee team to row an ocean and extremely humbled by the support we have received.

"We are very proud to be able to support injured servicemen and women everywhere through the Endeavour Fund, Help for Heroes and Blesma.

"Although totally exhausted, we are ready to celebrate the fact we have just conquered 3,000 miles in the world's toughest ocean rowing race. There is life beyond injury - that's our message, we hope it's out there."
