Lois & Nicole's Cross the Oceans for Manta Trust, 1 May 2022
Join our 2nd virtual challenge! Help us cover 3,464 mile (5,575 km) in 30 days, in aid of 1 great cause: Saving manta rays from extinction! We'll cross the North Atlantic Ocean to Mexico Caribbean then Curacao, by running, swimming & cycling . .

Story

We're challenging ourselves to cross the oceans - all in the name of a great cause, the Manta Trust! Over the month of May, we'll be attempting to paddleboard 150 km (75 km each) - that's a total of 60 times around the island we live on.

It won't be easy! We're now entering the southwest monsoon season in the Maldives, so the winds are picking up. Some days we'll be battling the high seas, and others we won't be able to get out at all - which will mean some serious laps on calmer days!

We're doing this to raise money for the Manta Trust, the charity we're both working for. Manta rays need our help more than ever before, and to continue our vital research and conservation efforts, the Manta Trust need your help. 

Any donation, big or small, would be hugely appreciated and will provide some much-needed motivation to get those achy muscles going and continue the paddle! Donations will be going directly to the Manta Trust, helping to fund their amazing research and conservation projects across the globe.

THANK YOU!
