A while back I paddled from miami to Key West. Every mile tested me—physically, mentally, emotionally. But no part of that journey compares to the fight these kids face every single day.

I’m doing it again. Not for the challenge, but for the cause. For the children who are in hospital rooms instead of playgrounds. For the parents praying for more time. For the researchers searching for a cure.

This year, I’m paddling with even more purpose. I’ve set a goal to raise $10,000 for pediatric cancer research—because kids deserve a chance to live full, beautiful lives.

If my paddle can ease even one child’s burden, if it can fund one more breakthrough, then every blister, every wave, every mile will be worth it.

Please consider donating. Help me carry their fight a little further.

Join me in my effort to raise money for the SebastianStrong Foundation during Kayaking the Keys for Hope!
