Rowing Across the Atlantic for Veterans

Two former warriors—Paul Lore, a retired Marine, and Dawn Smith, a former police boat skipper—just shattered the world record for the fastest mixed pair to row across the Atlantic, completing a grueling 3,000-mile journey in 42 days. Their adventure, called the Hometown Row, is raising funds for veteran support charities, including Phoenix Heroes and K9s for Warriors. After canceling their second leg due to weather, they’re now heading to Canada on an independent expedition—with no safety team—adding serious risk to their already extreme challenge. What drives them? Not fame or speed, but the profound mental clarity, unbreakable teamwork, and deep bond forged on the open sea. They’ve turned hardship into triumph, proving that the greatest victories are built on resilience, purpose, and the power of shared survival.
