My aim is to try and be the first woman to finish the Africa Eco Race in the category Malle Moto.

by Stephanie Rowe in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom

Who am I?

My name is Stephanie and ever since I can remember I have dreamed of racing the Dakar Rally. I always had the crazy idea to be the first woman to finish The Dakar Rally in Malle Moto - however due to a life changing motorcycle accident my rally plans got delayed and a Russian rider beat me to it in 2019. While The Dakar Rally is still my end goal - I want to follow my dream and instead make my attempt to be the first woman to finish the Africa Eco Race in Malle Moto. 

What is the Africa Eco Race and Malle Moto?

Some people say that the Africa Eco Race replaced the original Dakar Rally - the rally starts in Monaco and finishes 6500 km later in Dakar - Senegal. 

The Malle Moto category means that I will be racing on my own without any assistance, at the end of a long day of riding I will be working on my bike myself to prepare it for the next day of racing. Needless to say this category is the hardest of all - it will put my riding and mechanical ability to the test.

Why I need your help

I'm using this crowdfunder to help raise the remaining funds I need to make it to the start line of the Africa Eco Race. This journey is not just about racing; it’s about pushing boundaries, challenging myself, and inspiring others to take on new heights. By supporting this campaign, you become a part of this incredible adventure, helping me to hopefully make history as the first woman to complete this rally in the malle moto category. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to the start line  

How I’ll spend the money raised

All the money I raise will go towards covering the costs for the rally.
