'I'm rowing across the Atlantic in memory of my brother'

A rower has told 大象传媒 5 live how he has taken on the world鈥檚 toughest rowing challenge in his brother鈥檚 memory, to raise money to set up a suicide crisis centre.

The team of four British men are nearing the end of their journey across the Atlantic and have already raised nearly half a million pounds.

James Wentworth-Stanley tragically took his own life ten years ago, with the family believing that a crisis centre could have saved his life.

Speaking to Clare McDonnell, Harry Wentworth-Stanley explained how the charity is hoping to open their first centre in Liverpool.

"We're well on our way building that centre, it鈥檚 going to be amazing to see the result of the hard work put in."
