I'm raising money for the Ben Carlson Foundation

To say I am excited to participate in the BENDIDGO 11.0 alongside so many great people this year is an understatement!!

It was two years ago that I first heard about the BENDIDGO and the Ben Carlson Foundation's investment in the local and global community supporting water safety and those those involved in it.

On September 19th, I will paddle the 30 mile Catalina Channel alongside 100 men and women. In the meantime, I am looking for your support to reach my fundraising goal and directly impact this important cause.

Here's how you can help:

• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!
• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small.

What donations support:

Keeping the legacy of Ben Carlson alive and well! Ben, a Newport Beach Lifeguard went on his final rescue on July 6, 2014 and it claimed his life. The foundation works to impact things that truly mattered to Ben such as:

• Access to local Jr Lifeguard Programs for those that need financial assistance
• Providing Safety equipment and lifeguard education to under resourced, international lifeguad agencies
• College Scholarships to lifeguards
• Resourcing the Newport-Mesa school district’s free after-school Swim and Water Safety program with essential swim gear for lesson students

Thank you for joining me in this effort. Your support means the world to me and I can't wait to share the experience with you!
