Goal
This journey is more than a world-first. It’s a mission to help bring clean water to 100,000 people in Fiji and beyond.
Before every ripple can reach Fiji, the boat must first reach the water.
Your contribution here fuels the expedition itself — funding the boat, safety gear, food, and logistics that make this mission possible.
💙 $10 = 1 mile of the 10,000-mile journey.
💙 $50 = 5 miles across the open Pacific.
💙 $100 = 10 miles through storms and sunrise.
💙 $250 = 25 miles closer to the finish line.
Help bring the boat to the water — so together, we can bring clean water to the world.

Good luck on your row! I was in 20 foot waves in the Atlantic while in the USN. I can't imagine something like that in a row boat. You are a very brave woman! I will be following your journey. Andy Brunswick Hills, Oh

I feel so fortunate to have met Katie 20 years ago when we biked across America. I have fond memories of our visit to the real Amish bakery down that mile long dirt road.
