Want a tour of my home away from home...?
I raced 11,700 miles in every kind of wind and weather to push myself to the max. I experienced every high and low imaginable. Please show your support by donating to one of my favourite charities. I always remembered that I could get off the boat when this challenge is all over, but people in need all over the world don't have the same opportunity. Please help.
Together with ICDR, I partner with clinical sites all over the world to develop and provide speech-language pathology services to communities in need. Your contribution will supporting travel for deserving SLP students involved in this global service program.
