Our rowing team, Fight Oar Die, experienced a devastating loss while participating in the 2022 Atlantic Challenge. The boat, affectionately named The Woobie, capsized and could not be recovered. Despite the difficulties faced, the four-man team was rescued after 22 hours in the water but the boat could not be recovered. We have found a replacement vessel to continue our mission, a Rannoch, pending we can raise the funds. This boat is known for its superior quality and design, and we're confident it will enable us to inspire others and continue our journey.

As a quick background, our team, Fight Oar Die, includes former Rangers from 75th Ranger Regiment who are continuing the fight for Veterans. Craig Foreman, Dave Figgins, Joe Leach, and Guy Phillips make up our Team Ranger and embody our commitment to this mission. We are grateful to have such dedicated and skilled individuals on this year's team, and we believe that their experience and passion make us stronger. With your support, we can continue to make a difference and honor the sacrifices of our Veterans.

As you can imagine, purchasing a new boat is a significant investment and we are turning to our community for support. We have started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to purchase the new boat and keep our mission moving forward. We believe that with your support, we can overcome any obstacle and continue to make a difference.

Our team is passionate about what we do, and we are determined to keep pushing forward no matter what comes our way. We appreciate any support you can offer, and we look forward to sharing our journey with you.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
