A Global Sailing Expedition for Down Syndrome Awareness

OUR MISSION: To challenge the stereotypes associated with Down syndrome while inspiring individuals and families to embrace a world of possibilities.

Phase One: April 2026 - Embark on an epic 36,000+ mile global sailing expedition.

  • Share an intimate look into the challenges, triumphs, and beauty of attempting what many believe is impossible, completing a global sailing expedition with three young children including one with special needs.

  • Inspire a more inclusive society where an individual is valued as a person not based on a diagnosis.

  • Advocate for adventure-based parenting for both neurotypical and neurodivergent children.

  • Attempt Three Guinness World Records:

  1. First Person with Down Syndrome to Circumnavigate by Sailboat

  2. First Person with Down Syndrome to Sail to Antarctica

  3. First Person with Down Syndrome to Sail from Antarctica to the Arctic Circle

Phase Two: Transform lives through sailing.

  • Harness the transformative power of sailing to build confidence, teamwork, and lifelong memories.

  • Provide individuals with Down Syndrome the opportunity to sail with us as crew members, fostering camaraderie and a sense of belonging.
