A bestselling novelist and an emergency physician are rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic—because age and injury get to be part of their story, not the end of it. Our row is self-funded through sponsorships and fundraising. Every dollar goes toward getting two women and a 24-foot boat safely across the Atlantic. Funds will cover entry fees, equipment, meals, boat lease, and other essentials. If we raise more than we need (and we hope we do), the surplus goes to our charity organizations: Global First Responder and Let's Talk Menopause.

A writer and ER doc might seem like an unlikely pair. But when you've spent your life proving that the next chapter is always worth writing—and that broken bones don't get the last word—you recognize a kindred spirit when you meet one.

We invite you to join us in this adventure. Your support will help us take on this challenge, and any surplus will go directly to organizations making a difference. Thank you for believing in the power of new chapters, and for helping us write ours.
