OT: Paddle for Hope

Most that know me well are aware I have an adult daughter with Rett Syndrome. It’s a rare condition that pretty much exclusively targets girls.

Recently, I received an email from an old school mate that told me about a project he’s involved with. They decided to paddle kayaks from Victoria to Tasmania across the Bass Strait. This is a treacherous section of ocean that often hits the news when boats (or crew members) are lost in the annual Sydney to Hobart race. I cannot believe they attempted this in kayaks.

I’m so proud of Dan (Williams) for doing this and for the funding they have raised for research into Rett Syndrome.
