We are in the business of realizing dreams, and helping others achieve theirs.

Neither the work that Around-n-Over does, nor the human powered circumnavigation would be possible without the help of our Board of Directors, our officers and all the volunteer hours that we have received from numerous individuals who are now our loyal fans and friends. While we may not be able to recognize all of such help, art skills to create the logo and to design the T-shirt that Jeremy Cranford, and the marketing expertise that Murat Kaan Güneri brings to our team are great examples. We have all partnered to bring the journey to our audience for education and for inspiration.

This is an umbrella organization which brings together the resources of various nonprofit organizations. Their mission is to organize grassroots nonprofits and NGO's from a diversity of disciplines and support and coordinate these organizations' efforts to eliminate poverty, its causes and symptoms, in mountainous communities.

    Mountain Fund is also the home of "Climb-Aid, The Climber's Alert Network" which was established to provide assistance to the families of missing climbers. Following the loss of Charlie Fowler and Christine Boskoff in China, the need to provide structure in the aftermath of such events which range from coordinating search and rescue efforts to media relations, from tiding over distraught families to legal counsel, was obvious in the climbing community. This is when Mountain Fund stepped forward.

Guinness World Records has assigned the Ocean Rowing Society as the adjudicator of ocean rowing records.

    In having their phones available 24 hours a day, the Ocean Rowing Society first provides the much needed common sense to the often over-enthusiastic future ocean rowers, then take on the role of angels ensuring their safety, putting the spouses' minds at ease and answering to rescue beacons to coordinate Coast Guard or other action.

    The Turkish Geographical Society was helpful in bringing the Six Summits Project to the attention of the Ministry or Education in Turkey.

In working together, there is now the opportunity to reach a larger number of students.
