Paddling for Parkinsons fundraiser: riverboarding

Elizabeth Huey-Levine & Al Levine raise $2,450 for Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinsons Research

Hello everyone!

Well we did it! And thanks to you, the 2006 Paddling for Parkinsons's riverboarding event raised $2,450.00! The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, along with myself and family, and others who are challenged by this disease, greatly appreciate your financial support.

MJFF is making huge strides in the search for a cure, and with donors like yourselves, the strides become shorter and shorter (or should I say 'paddle strokes' become shorter and shorter!) In any case, you made a difference in the lives of others simply by supporting the Paddling for Parkinson's event this year. What a wonderful feeling!

Above are photos from the 2006 riverboarding event; if anyone is interested in pursuing such an endeavor, RipBoard inc. in Colorado is the company that supported our efforts. They were safe, flexible, friendly, and well organized, plus they make their own specialized riverboards!

E-mail RipBoard inc. or call (303) 321-1335; toll free 1.866.311.2627

My husband Al and I are looking forward to our next paddle in March 2007, when we take on the challenge of kayaking the Suwahnee River for about 200 miles.

Peace,

Elizabeth Huey-Levine
