Raising awareness of and funding for trauma recovery programs in northern New Hampshire.

Current fundraising project: Team fOARtysomething- Renee Rows the Atlantic for trauma survivors.

10/31/2026

When you are solo rowing the Atlantic as a mom, calls and messages back home are a priority. When the sun was shining and the seas were calm, making the effort to connect to the starlink was always worth it when it meant I could get messages to and from my son back home. Previously unreleased footage from day six of becoming the ONLY American MOM to solo row the Atlantic!

More previously unreleased footage from my solo Atlantic row earlier this year with Atlantic Dash. This one felt pretty vulnerable at the time, so I'm sharing it now for the first time. Reflections on day 37 after being inundated by a wave and knocked off my seat the night before. Lessons in self-care on my own journey through trauma recovery.

Never before seen footage! Throwback to the stern cabin of the Good Ship Reset 24 hrs before I landed in Antigua in the Atlantic Dash 2026.

Thank you to NH PBS and the Windows to the Wild Team for sharing the story of my tranatlantic row, and for the opportunity to speak at their annual Trail Mixer event. A beautiful afternoon at Castle in the Clouds.

What does it take to row 3,200 miles across the Atlantic alone—and what keeps you going for 65 days at sea?

For Bethlehem, New Hampshire, resident Renée Blacken, the journey was about far more than reaching the other side.

Watch ROWING TOWARD HEALING, the latest digital-first story from the new season of WINDOWS TO THE WILD, streaming now on the PBS App and the NHPBS YouTube channel.

When you’ve faced something challenging, what kept you going?
