Mission Atlantic
Mission Atlantic is not a race, it’s so much more. An opportunity for those who have served to come together, forging bonds of fraternity and friendship. All whilst taking on a challenge of staggering proportions, and raising thousands of pounds for charity.

Meet the Crews for 2024
Juan, a self-proclaimed “masochistic bon vivant,” enjoys fries, beer, and friends, yet balances them with Ironmans, surprising others with his resilience and unique philosophy, saying, “There’s no harm in hurting oneself.”
Raised in Rio and a former Club Flamengo rower, he joined UC Berkeley’s Division 1 team. After leaving rowing for craftsmanship, he eagerly returned to it when his cousin Baudouin proposed a new project.
JP, originally from Quebec, has lived in Riyadh, Brazil, France, and Germany. An old friend of Baud and Joachim, he joined their project after hearing about it while in Brazil, excited to contribute his expertise and unique perspective.
Former Royal Marine Chris overcame PTSD and homelessness to become an extreme endurance athlete, motivational speaker, and coach. He’s traveled widely, won awards, written best-sellers, and hosts a podcast inspiring others.
Louie Greenhalgh, former Irish Guard, adventurer, and Royal Mail worker, embodies an iron will, resilience and courage. Despite a severe brain injury, he continues to explore, inspire, and serve as a mental health first aider.
Baudouin, a digital nomad and skilled sailboat skipper, discovered a shared endurance spirit with his crewmate Juan while rowing 300km together. Now, he dreams of facing more sea challenges and new adventures.
