Story

We are rowing 3,000 miles the Atlantic to Protect our Planet.

The climate crisis is here; as our planet heats up, we’re living through more extreme weather, floods, fires and droughts. We have lost 69% of our world’s wildlife, and every year, over 20 million people are forced to leave their homes due to climate change.

But together there is still time to make an impact. Our campaign will protect those on the frontlines of the climate crisis: our most vulnerable animal species and climate refugees.

We are fundraising for two charities:
WWF’s Climate Crisis Fund: which runs programmes to defend wild places, restore forests, and keep our oceans healthy.
UNHCR’s Climate Crisis work: which provides humanitarian relief to refugees displaced by the climate crisis today.

As well as raising funds for our charities, we will ensure that our Atlantic row leaves a minimal footprint, and reduce our carbon emissions to net zero.

Everyone has a part to play in fighting the climate crisis. We hope to inspire others to reduce their impact and support those most in need.

Thank you
Bobbie, Katherine & Hatty
