Our goal is to finish in the world's longest annual kayak marathon within the set time. We will experience a world class wilderness event on the Yukon River, a river so clean you can drink it! We want to do something in return, so that our adventure contributes to the entrepreneurial power of women elsewhere.

“Millions of women are prohibited from accomplishing little more than survival. Not because of a lack of ambition, or ability, but because of a lack of safe water and adequate sanitation.”

This is why we want to donate the equivalent of the race registration fee (4x 300€) to Water.org's women’s empowerment projects. We hope that you will support us - your contribution will motivate us to keep going, knowing that we are on the river for women everywhere.

Googlers can donate on this page, and Google Inc will match the total raised!

During the YRQ teams paddle a distance of 715 kilometres through the North Canadian wilderness. The Yukon River has very few roads access point, teams will be out of the sight and reach of other people for long periods of time. The ‘race to the midnight sun’ (this far North the sun doesn’t set in June) knows many extremes; with temperatures anywhere between 25 °C and below 0 overnight. The YRQ places high demands on our team and its equipment to be able to race self-sufficiently for several days and be capable of self-preservation in case of an emergency. The outdoor brands NIGOR 'Brings you to the most remote places' and Adventure Food 'For Intensive Outdoor Activities' are helping make our adventure possible by providing quality technical equipment & nutritrion.

So far, we are the only women's kayak team registered for the YRQ! All four of us are passionate alpinists with a love of outdoor sports in the broadest sense. We find our careers important too and we set equally ambitious professional targets. In short, we are a dedicated group of women who aren’t afraid to be challenged! We believe that “Empowered women will change the world.”
