Live the Adventure!

Though rowing the pacific is a solo experience, it could not happen without the help of many people and advanced technology. The big ocean comes with big costs including: a 10,000 dollar satellite phone bill, 14,800 dollars in travel cost for my team and me, $4,500 for weather services, $5,700 for trailer shipping, $26,300 for boat refurbishment…and all the things that make it possible to do what has not been done before.

So I am asking for your help, not only to support my final Pacific voyage but to help launch my next adventure – a non-profit foundation. My highest ambition is to be not only a person who has achieved a great personal accomplishment but to also be a person who ignited change in others and change in the world.

This dream has evolved into the beginnings of my foundation, the purpose of which is to nurture and support people in their efforts to make the world a better place. An example of the kind of projects we be interested in funding is Eco-Heroes. Eco-Heroes is a program that encourages and rewards people for doing little things in their everyday life that make a big difference for the environment.

So please join me and together we can create a better, greener future, one stroke at a time.

ROZ HAS ARRIVED, IN RECORD TIME!!

Congratulations to our winner of our guess when Roz will Arrive contest Noelle Sadinsky from Australia who guessed the arrival time of June 4th 3:15 am. Roz will be chatting with you soon to tell you all the juicy details!

Congratulations to Joan Sherwood from USA who generously donated over 100 to be drawn as our winner of the memorabilia package. One pair of Roz’s gloves complete with blood sweat and tears and autographed photo will be decoratively encased and sent to you when the dust settles.

Though Roz has arrived at this physical destination there is still a long ways to complete her greater mission of making a difference in the world so please keep chipping in.

Big THANK-YOU to all of the 137 contributors during this Final Pacific Row. This has not only been Roz’s fastest row but also her most successful fundraiser.
