Answering the Call: Why Earth Day Marks the Start of Our Journey
A Milestone on Earth Day: The Start of Something Bigger
Today, on Earth Day 🌍 we proudly took delivery of our R45 ocean rowing boat, the physical beginning of Call to Earth: From Ocean to Earth – A Challenge for Change.
This moment marks much more than the handover of a boat. It is the launch of a mission that combines endurance, purpose, and a powerful call for environmental action. We chose Earth Day for this milestone with intention. It is a global reminder of what’s at stake, our oceans, our climate, and the fragile ecosystems that sustain us all. There could be no better day to set our course.
More Than a Boat: The Symbol of Our Mission
Our new boat represents the heart of our campaign. But it is also a symbol of courage, of commitment, and of the belief that human endeavour can inspire meaningful change. In December 2025, we will row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. Every stroke will be powered not just by muscle, but by purpose.
The Ocean: Where the Crisis – and Hope – Begins
The ocean is where this story begins. It is also where the impacts of climate change are most acutely felt. Rising sea temperatures, acidification, and plastic pollution are just a few of the urgent issues facing our blue planet. And yet, the ocean is also a source of immense hope; home to innovations, natural solutions, and interconnected systems that could help restore balance.
Call to Earth: Connecting People, Planet, and Purpose
Call to Earth exists to highlight that connection: between people and planet, between science and story, between personal challenge and collective impact. Through our journey, we’ll shine a light on the critical link between ocean health and climate action two sides of the same coin.
More Than a Row: A Challenge for Change
This campaign is not just about rowing. It’s about showing what can be achieved when we align human willpower with environmental purpose. Along the way, we’ll share stories from the ocean, amplify voices driving positive change, and bring awareness to the innovations shaping a sustainable future.
