Rising Tide

Chasing change across an ocean

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.

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.

The Palau Pledge trains young Palauans in diving and conservation, organizes community clean-up events, and led a world-first initiative asking every visitor to the country to sign a passport-stamped pledge to protect the islands for Palau's children.

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.

The early phase of this journey is the hardest to fund. It is also the most important.
