Hugo Charles Pengilly Turner and Ross Nicholas Hill Turner (born 22 October 1988 in Exeter, Devon, UK), better known as The Turner Twins, are British adventurers best known for recreating historic expeditions which support medical research. ==Biography== The twins grew up near Christow, England where they spent most of their childhood in the outdoors and camping on Dartmoor National Park, taking part in various outdoor challenges such as the Ten Tors and the Duke of Edinburgh Award. The twins attended Wolborough Hill School in Newton Abbot before attending King's Hall and later King's College, Taunton. They both graduated with degrees in Industrial Design and Technology from Loughborough University in 2011. The twins hold two world records; for being part of the youngest four man crew to row the Atlantic and the first twins to row any of the world's oceans, after successfully rowing the Atlantic ocean in 2011-12 as part of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.〔https://www.taliskerwhiskyatlanticchallenge.com/〕 The twins professional adventure careers started when Hugo was involved in a diving accident - sustaining a broken neck aged 17, subsequently resulting in treatment at the Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske) and Derriford (Plymouth), and later a neck reconstruction at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. Following this accident the twins have supported the charity Spinal Research.〔http://www.spinal-research.org/get-involved/fundraise/extraordinary-fundraisers/the-turner-twins-greenland-2014/〕 During their expeditions the twins support and actively take part in medical research studies at King's College London's, Department, of Twin Research〔http://www.twinsuk.ac.uk/twins/explorer-twins/〕 which focus on various areas such as Epigenetic, Metabolomic and Gut-Flora projects, and sports science studies at GlaxoSmithKline's, Human Performance Lab.〔http://www.gskhpl.com/news/gsk-hpl-welcomes-first-set-of-twins-for-series-of-assessments.shtml〕 They are also known as the 'Adventure Guinea Pigs'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Turner Twins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
