Ocean Survivoar Challenge 2025
Donation protected
About Me:
Hi, I'm Annasley Park, a 28-year-old adventurer from Hereford, UK. With a diverse background in professional cycling for Great Britain and four years of maritime experience in the super yacht industry, I've always been driven by challenges and the desire to push my limits. Now, I'm embarking on my most ambitious journey yet: a solo, unaided row across the Atlantic Ocean.
The Challenge:
In January 2025, I will set off from the Canary Islands, aiming to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic to Barbados. This journey will be fraught with 40ft waves, sleep deprivation, sores, shipping traffic, and dangerous marine life. Despite these daunting challenges, I will also witness breathtaking sunsets, sunrises, and the wonders of nature. The goal is to complete this challenge in less than 40 days, so fingers crossed the weather is on my side! To date, only 26 solo, unsupported, and independent females have successfully crossed an ocean, and I hope to join their ranks.
Why This Challenge Matters:
This challenge is about more than personal achievement; it's about inspiring current and future generations to be more resilient and to lead, particularly in the business world. I want to demonstrate that anything is possible with determination and a strong support network. Additionally, I am rowing to support four incredible charities that hold personal significance to me.
How Your Contributions Will Be Used:
Undertaking such a monumental challenge requires significant resources. Your generous donations will go towards:
- Boat and Equipment: Ensuring I have a reliable and well-equipped boat to withstand the harsh conditions of the Atlantic.
- Safety Gear: Life-saving equipment, including navigation tools, life jackets, and emergency supplies.
- Training and Preparation: Comprehensive training to prepare for the physical and mental demands of the journey.
- Travel and Logistics: Costs associated with transporting the boat to the start line and logistical support throughout the journey.
Any outstanding money at the end of this challenge will go straight to my charities on my GiveStar page.
Why Support Me:
I am deeply committed to this mission and believe that by sharing this journey, I can inspire others to overcome their own challenges. I have a fantastic team of experts and sponsors backing me, but I still need your support to make this dream a reality. Together, we can create a narrative of resilience, determination, and the power of community.

250 Club:
