“You get out of life what you put in.”
British television personality Helen Skelton is thought to be the first woman to paddle the entire length of the Amazon. Her kayak, named Anne Marie, took her 2010 miles (3234.79 km) from the Rio Maranon and Rio Ucayali, Peru; to St. John in the Amazon Delta, Brazil. She paddled for 366 hours over the course of six weeks aiding the charity Sport Relief.
