Fighting To End Human Trafficking Through Endurance

Meet Rob DeCou
Rob is an athlete, entrepreneur, Rotarian and most importantly, a father and a husband. In 1997 Rob spent a year in India as a Rotary Youth Exchange Student and while there set a new world record completing a 50 hour non-stop aerobics event with a dozen other participants. That experience set him on a lifelong path to challenge himself physically and mentally in endurance events. Rob swims, bikes and runs extraordinary distances and combines his passion for challenge with fundraising for programs he supports.
The Next Challenge
SEVENTY48
The SEVENTY48 race is just that, 70 miles through the Puget Sound in 48 hours. The rules are simple: no motors, no support, and no wind. That’s right. HUMAN POWER ONLY. Pedal, paddle, or row. That’s it. Start in Tacoma, end in Port Townsend by human power only. Too easy.
Rob and Vicki Heckman are both racing in SEVENTY48 to raise funds for the Center Valley Animal Rescue and they’ve set a goal to raise $5,000 for the organization.
Center Valley Animal Rescue is committed to providing safe harbor and rehabilitation for unwanted, injured or abandoned domesticated and wild animals, thereby decreasing the number of unnecessary euthanasias performed.
