Why raising funds for Mercy Ships

🚣 22 KM FOR HOPE — Every Stroke Brings Someone Closer to Care ❤️

After my third year of rowing, I’m taking on a new challenge with few friends: rowing 22 km through the beautiful Gorges de la Loire.

Our route will take us across this exceptional Natura 2000 protected area, all the way to the Grangent dam, including a loop around the island — a place known for its peaceful landscapes, nature, and stunning water views.

For us, this will be a moment of friendship, effort, and connection with nature.

This year, I would love to give those kilometers an even deeper meaning.

Through this challenge, I would like to support Mercy Ships and contribute to improving access to life-changing surgical care for communities that need it most in Africa.

22 km is a small effort compared to the journey many patients face before receiving access to care.

Every stroke will remind us that moving forward together can create real impact.

If you would like to support our challenge and turn kilometers into hope, we would be deeply grateful ❤️

Need some inspiration?

We give you some ideas for sports campaigns:

Birthday Donation

This year, ask for a donation to Mercy Ships instead of gifts — helping provide life-changing surgeries.

Digital Detox

Take a break from social media for a set period, and encourage your community to support you with donations.

Movie Night

Host a movie night at home, at the office, or online and ask guests to donate instead of paying for admission.

Ask friends, family, coworkers, or partners to donate instead of giving gifts. Make a meaningful donation instead.

Events that Inspire

Invite people to a retreat, company event, or anniversary where participation is secured through a donation.

Learning that Gives Back
