Team: Women on a Mission's Kayaking Expedition to the Arctic 2025
The end of June, I'm taking on one of the toughest challenges of my life: kayaking 115 kilometres through the icy waters of the Arctic to raise funds for Women for Women International.
I've taken on big challenges before - from brutal triathlons to ultramarathons - but this is a whole new test of my limits. It's not just the distance; it's learning a new activity, different temperatures then I'm used to, potential unpredictable weather, and the sheer mental toughness it will take to keep going.
But I'm not doing this for the thrill of adventure. I'm raising funds for Women for Women International, an incredible organization that helps women survivors of war and conflict rebuilding their lives. They provide support, skills training, and resources to help women earn an income, find confidence, and create better futures for themselves and their families.
Why this cause? Because I feel so fortunate to be in a position where I can take on challenges like this - both physically and financially. It's a privilege I don't take for granted, and I want to use it to make a difference.
100% of the funds raised will go directly to Women for Women International. Every dollar you donate will help transform the lives of women navigating their own challenges. I've personally covered the costs of this expedition, so your donations go entirely to where they're needed most.
If my journey inspires you, please consider donating. Every little bit helps, and together, we can support women across the world as they navigate their own challenges and build brighter futures.
