Welcome, everyone! And thank you for being here.

This journey was never really about the miles. It was about people, connection, and creating space for conversations that matter. After weeks alone at sea, one thing became incredibly clear to me: life is meant to be shared.

So whether you’ve supported from afar, followed the row, contributed to the mission, or simply showed up with an open heart — I’m grateful you’re here.

I’m excited for the conversations, the connection, and the time together over these next couple of days.

We’ll see you in Punta Mita soon.
