Chirping Central Founder to Row 2,400 Miles Solo Across the Pacific Ocean To Raise Awareness For Endangered Birds
San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) March 24, 2015 -- Fueled by her passion for avian conservation, awareness and education, Australian Mary Rose will row 2,400 nautical miles solo from San Diego to Honolulu. Her impressive trans-Pacific row will begin May 16, as she launches her boat Dippers from San Diego’s Mission Bay Harbor, and will require three months of continuous rowing across dangerous ocean waters.
Named Project Flightplan, Rose’s journey will take place to raise funds and awareness for conservation projects sponsored by Chirping Central Conservation Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit foundation dedicated to avian-related projects. Rose, a native Australian, founded Chirping Central in 2010, after moving to Arizona and adopting her first bird companion, a charming and animated Eclectus parrot.
“I am extremely excited to take on this challenge and determined to succeed,” said Rose. “Our winged friends can teach us so many things about living in harmony with nature and appreciating the beauty that is present in our everyday lives. I am confident the awareness raised by this test of my willpower and strength, will help ensure that beautiful, majestic birds from across the globe will be there for future generations to enjoy.”
In order to prep for Project Flightplan, Rose has endured years of training and conditioning both her body and mind with the support of a dedicated team—all while maintaining a fulltime job as an accountant! All proceeds raised through Project Flightplan will go directly towards Chirping Central’s current and future avian projects.
