Hi! And if you are here- you are supporting us by reading, and following our updates. Thank you!
We are only 11 days away from paddling 40 miles from new Orleans to Grand Isle. This past weekend, I had 3 amazing kayakers take me down the Colorado river from Bastrop,TX Smithville, TX. 20 mile per hour head wind squals most of the day, and a 2 mile per hour current from all of the rain. One snake- no gators!! Thank you to Dave, Bill and Ashley! You all made my first 28 mile paddle doable!!! I was humbled on Sunday, realizing the amount of pain in my neck, shoulder, wrist and elbow were in. The 40 miles, is not going to come easy with my myriad of old injuries. But, when I think of what Taylor has to overcome everymday without the ability to speak them- I quickly forget a little body pain. He is worth every mile, and so are all of the children with Autism/intellectual disabilities/abilities,and the support their families need!
Please help spread the word of our fundraiser and why we are doing it! Taylor’s donations have a long way to go to cover this special school for another year, and we are still building enough to pay for his communication device. We have made a fantastic dent in his medical bills so far, so Thank you!!! Little by little, we’ll get there. I know we can!
Hugs, Kim & Taylor!
