Miriam Payne
Miriam Payne is a British rower who, alongside her teammate Jess Rowe, attempted to break records for being the first female team and couple to row across the Pacific Ocean. Their journey was interrupted due to equipment failure, but they were later rescued by Peruvian sailor Alec Hughes, allowing them to continue their quest to raise funds for Outward Bound Trust, which promotes youth skills through adventure.
