About Us
We are Team Rising Tide, in December 2027 we will be rowing across the Atlantic Ocean to raise support for marine protections and help create opportunities for people on and in the water.
Our task is to compete in the World's Toughest Row Atlantic Race in December of 2027. We will be rowing unassisted 3,000 miles from La Gomera in the Canaries to Antigua in the Caribbean. With your help, along with our sponsors, we hope to raise $500,000 that will go to our cause.
Countdown to Start
The Team
Although we come from different backgrounds; a climate researcher, a dive instructor, an expedition guide, and a community fitness leader/ rowing coach, we've each experienced the profound impact that time on the water can have on a person's life. For some of us, that connection has grown through science, diving, sailing, and conservation. For others, it has grown through the transformative sport of rowing and the communities it creates.
Sponsors
A huge thank you to our sponsors!
We are raising money for these folks
Tim lives in Palau and is involved with something called the Palau pledge. Palau is the first nation on earth to change its immigration laws for the cause of environmental protection. Upon entry, visitors need to sign a passport pledge to act in an ecologically and culturally responsible way on the island, for the sake of Palau's children and future generations of Palauans.
Cady is very interested in giving more people access to the water in the way of rowing. A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund is committed to unlocking the potential within diverse and underserved youth by introducing them to the transformative sport of rowing. We aim to equip these young people with the tools to become champions in their communities, on the water, and in life.
Dave and Adi live in Tromsø, Norway and have been involved with a local organization called RISSA, volunteering for some of their citizen science projects. RISSA's mission statement is "to raise empathy for nature through community engagement, citizen science and result-oriented actions".
Donate
The early phase of this journey is the hardest to fund. It is also the most important.
Before we can begin this row we must first get to the startline. That means funding the equipment and training required to take on a challenge of this magnitude.
Your Support Has a Multiplier Effect
After speaking with past teams, one thing is clear: Once we are on the water, doors begin to open.
Sponsors, corporate partners, and major donors become far more willing to support teams locked into this event. That means:
1. Your donation helps us enter the race, so we can row for these causes
2. It enables us to raise much larger amounts later, dramatically increasing the total we can direct toward our causes
3. It accelerates our ability to protect ocean ecosystems and create opportunities on the water
But first we need to get to that start line, and we can't do that without your contribution.
We have two Gofundme pages, one in british pounds and another in US dollars. Your donation is greatly appreciated!
