ROUND THE WORLD
TWICE — FOR THE KIDS ❤️
Guinness World Record Attempt during THON Week
February 15–22, 2026
Our Mission
Beginning February 15–22, 2026, Manoj Doshi and I will attempt a first-ever Guinness World Record: completing two back-to-back commercial circumnavigations of the globe—one Eastbound and one Westbound—in a single continuous journey of under seven days.
What began as a lifelong dream and a simple conversation with my daughter, Mattie, now a junior at Penn State, has grown into a nationally supported fundraising campaign benefiting THON and children battling cancer. Every mile flown represents one dollar raised, with a goal of $43,540, and 100% of all donations go directly to THON to support pediatric cancer patients and their families. This journey is about pushing limits, raising awareness, and turning a crazy idea into meaningful impact, all For The Kids ❤️
BTW, Happy 60th birthday to Manoj (mine’s in August). We couldn’t think of a better gift than doing something that truly matters.
Thank you for your support,
Mark Tuchmann
