Rowing for Hope: Mark Pfetzer and Jarrod Slindee's Atlantic Challenge to Raise Suicide Awareness

Stick with the people that are winners.
Imagine rowing across the vast Atlantic Ocean, not just for the adventure, but to spotlight a critical issue like suicide awareness. In this gripping episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', host Michael Van Meter sits down with Mark Pfetzer and Jarrod Slindee, two driven individuals who are taking on this monumental challenge. They're not just rowing; they're rowing with a purpose - to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention, especially among first responders who face immense mental health challenges daily.
Mark and Jarrod share their intense training regimen, which includes grueling night-time rowing sessions, and discuss the mental and physical hurdles they expect to encounter. They also talk about their boat, a floating billboard for their cause, and their innovative approach to securing sponsorships and donations. This episode is a compelling listen for anyone touched by mental health issues or those who appreciate stories of human resilience and determination.
Mark and Jarrod's journey is a testament to the power of purpose-driven action. As Michael Van Meter says, 'Stick with the people that are winners'. Tune in to hear how these two are turning their passion into a powerful movement.
