Hello there! Most of you already know I love a good day on the water, but this time I'll be paddling with a purpose.

The Block Challenge brings together a community of enthusiastic paddlers to achieve a goal beyond ourselves - undertaking the physical and mental challenge of an 18 mile open ocean paddle from Montauk to Block Island, with the purpose of bettering the lives of children. Together we can help support innovative and comprehensive mental health programs for kids and youth, including greater early intervention outreach, resiliency, anti-bullying, and changing behavior through a focus on the positive. In addition, the P4H Catastrophic Fund supports families in crisis on the East End of Long Island. For more information or to join me as a paddler please visit the Paddlers for Humanity website at www.p4h.org/about

With the help of this page I hope to meet and exceed my goal of raising $1,500. Every contribution helps move me one step closer to reaching my fundraising objective. Whether you're able to donate or simply share a link to this page, your support means everything. Thank you for being a part of this journey!
