Juan Dumont de Chassart is organizing this fundraiser.

Hey there!

We are Baudouin, Jean-Pierre, Joachim and Juan - 4 friends preparing to take on the challenge of a lifetime: rowing across the Atlantic!

On the 8th of December, we’ll be setting off from the Canary Islands, with more than 5,000 kilometers to reach the Caribbean. With nothing but our rowing boat and the open ocean ahead, we’ll face the unpredictable forces of nature.

This challenge is not only about physical endurance, but also about resilience, teamwork, and determination. We’ve spent months preparing for this moment, knowing that it will test our limits in every possible way.

But more importantly, our project is about solidarity and inclusion. We have decided to dedicate our row to the Association Lazare - an amazing charity that has found a winning formula to tackle homelessness by launching and operating shared houses where young professionals mix with the homeless.

We want our row to support their great work by:

Creating awareness around the problem
Attracting young professionals to become flatmates
Bringing new donors closer to Lazare

In order to fund our crossing, we have embarked several sponsors that have covered most of the boat purchase, preparation, shipping and fees.

However, we haven’t yet managed to fund all the costs through sponsorship, and given how close we are to the start, we’re asking for your help !!

What’s left to fund:

Food supplies
Team gear and equipment
Consumable and medical kit
Logistical expenses
Miscellaneous boat works

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will help us move closer to realising this dream. We deeply appreciate your generosity and support as we take on this incredible journey.

Thank you for believing in us!
