A former Burnley air force officer and adventurer is taking on a challenging Atlantic row.
Emma Wolstenholme will attempt a 3,000-mile ocean crossing as part of a three-person crew.
She will row alongside marine technologist and ocean sailor Stacey Rivers and former air force pilot John Hammond.
The trio form the 'Call to Earth' team, which aims to drive environmental awareness.
Ms Wolstenholme said: "Our Atlantic row team are driven by our deep passion for the ocean, a commitment to innovation and the urgent need for sustainable practices, so it's fantastic to have Water Plus on board, who are leaders in their industry on water saving actions for UK businesses and the public sector.
"The Atlantic Ocean World's Toughest Row is a relentless test of endurance, grit and determination.
"It's one of the most extreme endurance feats on the planet and we've been training hard to get all ready."

The team will row unsupported in continuous shifts for the duration of the crossing, relying on solar panels to power their equipment, including a water maker that converts seawater into drinking water.
All waste, including plastic, will be brought back to shore with an aim to minimise environmental impact.
The team are undertaking the challenge in partnership with Water Plus.
Tony McHardy, managing director of Water Plus, said: "Water's essential to businesses, communities, public services and to life, and we're on a mission to team up with others, including leading business and industry names, to deliver a significant increase in smarter water approaches in the UK to help the planet, people and future generations.
"Just like the awe-inspiring and intrepid Call to Earth team, we're finding and highlighting innovative solutions to challenges organisations and the planet is facing with natural resources, so it's great to combine our voices to raise awareness on sustainable practices we can all look at taking.
"We wish the Call to Earth crew the very best of luck for their endeavour and mission."
Ms Wolstenholme, a former air force officer, skippered an all-female crew around Great Britain in 2023, setting a world record in the process.
She is also a cadet ambassador and hopes the Atlantic row will inspire others.
Ms Wolstenholme said: "In my role as a cadet ambassador, I'm also passionate about inspiring the next generation through bold action, grit, and adventure, so I hope that taking on such a challenge, with this Atlantic row, will do just that as well.
"I'm most excited about surfing down big waves and the adrenaline rush of seeing our boat going above 10 knots.
"Since the boat was shipped to the starting location, I have been coupling weight training and long-distance erg sessions (indoor rowing), with regular 2.5-hour cycle rides and not forgetting lots of squats."
