TARYN SMITH MOVEMENT X GIRLS ON THE RUN

Taryn partnered with Girls on the Run, a non-profit that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running.

While training for her row, Taryn is visiting Girls on the Run programs, talking about goal setting, positivism, teamwork, and communication.

Taryn pledges all excess sponsorship funds to Girls on the Run and will represent GOTR while rowing across the ocean with a goal of $50,000 raised for this remarkable organization.

The toughest part of ocean rowing is getting to the starting line.

The success of any ocean row lies in partnerships with businesses and community members.

Join the crew for the adventure of a lifetime!

Thank you.

While this is a solo row, it is impossible alone.

I am honored to have you as my crew.
