Mark Fuhrmann, a 65-year-old Canadian native living in Oslo, Norway, has completed an epic solo Kayak journey, becoming the first person to kayak the Greater Loop across Canada and the United States. The 6,800-mile journey took him 268 days and required him to paddle for 1,643 hours. Fuhrmann embarked on the journey to raise funds for Doctors Without Borders and Captains Without Borders and to spread a message of positivity. He faced challenges such as fog, extreme tides, and finding places to pitch his tent. Fuhrmann has raised nearly $7,000 for the charities.
