Adventure with Endo – Canoeing the Yukon 2025
In 2018, Lucy and Mathilde paddled the length of the Inside Passage! Now in 2025 Lucy is going solo and will paddle the length of the Yukon River, this time in a canoe! A trip from A Téix’gi Aan Tlein Park (Lake Atlin), in the lands of the Tlingit First Nations to Emmonak, the lands of the Yup’ik Eskimo People, travelling through more than 20 different traditional lands. The trip will be approximately 3124.9km and around 2.5-3months depending on stops, weather and fun along the way. My research tells me I will be the second woman and the first Australian woman if I am successful!

Adventure with Endometriosis
Like last time, I will still be doing this paddle single-use plastic free, but the big focus of this trip I will be raising awareness of Endometriosis.
I am teaming up with QENDO, an organisation from my home state Queensland, Australia that is advocating for and supporting people like me who have endometriosis. I am raising funds to pay for a staff member who can be on call for what is a currently volunteer-run support hotline. A service I have used and has been so helpful!
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis and Adenomyosis officially in 2023. You can read my Endo story on the QENDO Blog here: https://www.qendo.org.au/blog/lucys-story
Everyone’s experience of Endometriosis is different, and what’s possible for me isn’t possible for everyone. I hope that through this, I help others better understand endometriosis and give hope to others with the condition that they too can find adventure!
