In conversation with the amazing Jayme Linker from Colorado.
Jayme's story is about second chances , and making the best use of it. From struggling with eating disorder to finding purpose in her competitive endurance ocean rowing , she is pure inspiration .
In 2021 she participated in the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge on a mixed pair team which it took her 51 days and change to complete.
On June 12th, her mixed pairs team Aloha Kai will be rowing the Mid-Pacific where she will become the 1st US-born female to row both of these oceans.
Jayme rows to raise money for Eating Disorder Awareness as she has suffered from an eating disorder for over 2/3 of her life and has dedicated her life to helping others not suffer like she has.
