My personal message:

  I'm doing a stand-up paddle around the circumference of Lake Tahoe starting September 11th.  Its a 72 mile paddle that will take about 2 days.  All of you are welcome to join me for all, or part of the paddle in support.  Contact me for more information at 530.583.6190.

  The paddle is to raise money and awareness for Farm Sanctuary.  Farm Sanctuary works to end cruelty to farm animals and promotes compassionate living through rescue, education and advocacy.  

  After my visit to the Farm Sanctuary in Orland, California, I felt it was my turn to speak out for the voiceless.

  Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support of my paddle and Farm Sanctuary.
