12 Hour Relay Will Paddle for Life
29 May
Teams of paddlers on London, Ontario’s Fanshawe Lake will propel their boats for twelve continuous hours in a charity relay to celebrate cancer survivorship called the Paddle for Life.
The June 7th event, co-sponsored by Nova Craft Canoes, Veo Natural Spring Water, and the artist Philip Aziz, will donate its proceeds to Wellspring, a cancer support center network, and Cottage Dreams, a vacation cottage lending program for cancer patients and their families.
Teams may enter canoes or kayaks in the event with a $500 donation.
Along with the continuous paddling — teams of up to six people can power canoes in relay fashion — the event will feature art, entertainment, food and refreshments, and talks by paddler/cancer survivor Steve Gedies and author Kevin Callan.
