US Paralympic medallist Angela Madsen dies on solo rowing trip
US Paralympian Angela Madsen has died during her solo attempt to row across the Pacific Ocean.
Madsen was attempting to become the first paraplegic and the oldest woman to achieve this feat. Madsen's wife Debra confirmed the tragic news in a statement released on the Row of Life website: “Angela was a warrior, as fierce as they come. A life forged by unbelievable hardship, she overcame it all and championed the exact path she envisioned for herself since she was a little girl.
“To row an ocean solo was her biggest goal. She knew the risks better than any of us and was willing to take those risks because being at sea made her happier than anything else. She told us time and again that if she died trying, that is how she wanted to go.”
