Seeing cancer up close and personal is truly a life-changing experience. My family experienced this in October 2025 when we sadly lost my father after a brief, intense battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). We had only 28 days from his diagnosis to his passing, leaving a deep hole in our family and community. This paddle will be dedicated to celebrating his life and preserving his memory. His passion for supporting children's nonprofits was a cherished tradition passed down from my grandparents, and our family is committed to continuing this meaningful legacy of giving. Supporting Sebastian Strong is a wonderful way to honor my father's memory and keep his legacy alive.  

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