THE SISTERHOOD is a group of savvy and successful women who take charity fundraising to another level.
How many women do you know who would raft 180km down the treacherous Amazon in 3 days in just 19 hours? Not many?
Well step forward Emma Sayle, who is your real life Lara Croft, Superwoman and supreme business woman all combined. Formidable does not even do Emma justice; she is one of a kind.

Emma set up The Sisterhood in September 2006. Born from a meeting between two highly competitive individuals, The Sisterhood came to fruition not on a whim, but on a challenge and less than a year later an elite group of fearless females turned up on a sunny beach in Dover to undertake the original challenge to race The Brotherhood across the English Channel to France.
11 months of training through wind, rain and sun and more injuries than our on-board physiotherapist could cope with; The Sisterhood reached France in a World Record time of 3 hours 42 minutes
They are a team of 40 extremely photogenic women who are from a variety of professions and sporting backgrounds, ranging from professional athletes to women who haven't taken part in sport for over 10 years. They spent 2007 taking part in adventure races, triathlons, and dragon boat regattas round the world before smashing the world record across the channel.
The Sisterhood's Art of Sport featuring sporting celebrities such as Freddie Flintoff and Josh Lewsey was picked up by the Sun and sold as The Sun's 2008 calendar. They have continued in 2008 doubling in numbers and taking on the worlds longest raft race The Great Amazon Raft Race, a 3 day stage race over 180km down the Amazon in Peru.
On top of that 2008 has seen them conquer the Venice Vogolonga, The Great River Race in London and several adventure races and Triathlons. Emma holds a world record for the fastest crossing of The Channel in a Dragon Boat powered by a female crew in just 3 hours 42 minutes. She was also part of the 4 women who won the women's international race down the Amazon.
The charity this is for is "Babes in Arms" and in 2 years they have raised of £200,000, a phenomenal amount.
The annual Sisterhood Ball was held at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel, Mayfair on 30th October where £20,000 was raised.
Watch out world, the sisters are in town and nothing can stand in their way.
