Packed Up and Shipping Out...

      T-minus five days until we leave for Buenos Aires and the beginning of Operation: Pink Paddle.  Over the last few weeks we have been gathering gear and supplies in preparation for the trip including the raft, our home for the next two months (pictured under the blue tarp).  Two years of planning and fundraising will culminate in less than one week, and while we have checked and double checked our lists and extensively studied the route, we are still relying on all of your support for the main objective of this endeavor.  This trip will be raising money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to aid in their efforts of finding a cure.  For every mile that we successfully paddle we ask that you donate a minimum of 1.5 cents or $25 total for the expedition.  We are accepting donations directly to the BCRF on the DONATE NOW link on the right column of this blog.  You can track our progress on this blog as we make our journey from the Andes to the Pacific and follow us directly through email by signing up below.  Thank you for all of your well wishes and support and please donate now!
