Friends and Colleague's-

This July 30th, i will be to competing for the Fourth time in The 11th Block Island Challenge. This Annual event is put together by an all volunteer (local) non-profit called “Paddlers For Humanity,” which supports local and global organizations dedicated to bettering lives. The Block Challenge is 18 miles of open-ocean paddling from the Montauk Lighthouse to Block Island's Champlains marina.  I encourage everyone to check out their website at www.p4h.org to learn more about the organization and the great things they do.

I am reaching out to all of you in hopes of exceeding my fundraising goal of $2,000. Any and all donations will go a long way towards the oranizations goal of $150,000 for bettering children's lives, and supporting innovative and comprehensive mental health programs for kids and youth.

Here is a link to some of the causes your donation will support - http://www.p4h.org/index.php?idp=2&idmm=2
