“I’ve spent years testing my limits in a kayak, but I realised that endurance is meaningless if it doesn’t serve a purpose. Paddle for Egypt is my way of turning every drop of sweat into a heartbeat for a person who needs it. This isn’t just my journey; it’s a mission I can’t do alone.” — Rob

Paddle for Egypt 2026: 1000 km. Saving Hearts

Courage58 was founded with a clear mission: to channel physical endurance into social impact. We support projects focusing on healthcare, education, and the environment, with a primary dedication to the Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation.

The Courage58 Foundation is a non-profit organization (ANBI status) based in the Netherlands,

operating with a 100% unpaid board to ensure maximum impact for our causes.

1,000 km. One Kayak. A Floating Heart Screening Vessel.

In November 2026, we return to the Nile. This time, we are bringing a houseboat equipped as a mobile heart screening unit to perform heart screenings along the route.
