A huge shout out to Dawn and Paul continuing to row the oceans creating awareness and raising funds for our Heroes! Check out their social media and website.

🇬🇧🌊 JUST LOOK HOW CLOSE THEY ARE…

Doesn’t this tracker suddenly make the UK feel so much closer?

After weeks of nothing but open ocean, Penny B is now edging ever closer to home.

📍 792 nautical miles to go.

Even less until Dawn and Paul catch their first glimpse of land.

From there, the adventure isn’t over. They’ll round the coast of Ireland before making their final push to the south coast of England and, ultimately, their homecoming in Burnham-on-Crouch.

Every stroke is bringing them closer to family, friends and the flotilla of boats that will be waiting to welcome them home.

We’re getting excited already. 💙

If you’ve been following this incredible journey from the very beginning, now is a great time to show your support.

❤️ Dawn and Paul are rowing every mile to raise funds for Phoenix Heroes CIC and K9s For Warriors. Every donation helps transform this remarkable challenge into something even more meaningful.

Four years ago we set out on a 2 week mission to support and raise funds for the Nashville,TN Gold Star Family Memorial by paddling from Nashville, TN to Green Turtle Bay in Grand Rivers, KY. We had great support that helped jump start this goal. As of today we have been selected as an Honorary Board Member for the Nashville memorial with The Woody Williams Foundation. We have always been in support of other organizations that give back to our Hero Families. Many of our events this year will go towards the funding and support of this great memorial. Visit our website soon to know how you can help. With any questions or wanting to support please reach out to us at [email protected]

If wanting to donate through their website please make sure you have selected the Nashville, TN memorial.
