Partners, Sponsors and Supporters

Adventures are often successful because of the community that exists around them. Lucy’s expedition is made possible by the support of friends, family and organisations that believe in her! You can read more about the people and organisations that are making this trip a success.

QENDO is an organisation that supports people with Endometriosis. Lucy herself has benefitted from the programs and resources that they provide in her own journey understanding, getting diagnosed and managing her stage 4 endometriosis. That is why Lucy teamed up with them to use the expedition down the Yukon to increase awareness and fundraise for their important work. In that it’s a true partnership.

The CLIPPER brand of canoes are manufactured by Western Canoeing Manufacturing Inc. in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada (near Vancouver). The company was founded by Marlin and Mary Bayes in 1976. Inspired by Lucy’s passion, and desire to share the love of expeditions, canoeing and being in nature – CLIPPER is the primary sponsor for Lucy’s expedition.

Aquapac sponsored the original expedition of Passage Adventures when Mathilde and Lucy kayaked through the Inside Passage. Much of the gear still stands and continues on with Lucy and Mathilde since that expedition. Aqupac returns as a sponsor for Lucy’s Yukon River expedition, helping her with new specific needs of a canoe expedition. The dry bags and waterproof gear is essential to the success of an expedition of this nature!
