Ep. 489 | How far would you go for a cause you believe in?

In 2023, four extraordinary men, Brendan Cusick, Peter Durso, Scott Forman, and Patrick Morrissey, rowed 2,800 miles across the Pacific Ocean, from California to Hawaii, battling exhaustion, storms, and their own limits, all to raise money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation. 

The group, known as Human Powered Potential, initially set a goal of $28 million to reflect the 2,800 miles they planned to row. After surpassing this target, they raised their goal to $41 million to honor the 41 days spent on the Pacific. Remarkably, they exceeded this goal as well, turning their mission into a record-breaking success.

Today, they are here to share their incredible story of perseverance, teamwork, and purpose.
