Hello Friends and Family 

 I want to let you know I will be participating in my first ever Kayak-A-Thon on Sunday, September 10th with my daughter Lindsay. We can't wait!  We will be part of a 100 person flotilla paddling down the Connecticut River from Hatfield to Northampton MA to raise awareness and support of All Out Adventures mission of breaking down barriers by making outdoor recreation such as kayaking and biking  available for people of all ages and abilities. All Out Adventures is doing amazing work and you can check out their programs below. The name Pattaylin Along (Patti Taylor Lindsay) is something Tim coined years ago, long before we took up kayaking, as a possible name for his motor boat and I find it rather appropriate now two decades later.  The Kayak-A-Thon is the biggest fundraiser of the year for AOA and we would be so grateful for your support while we 'paddle along" for this worthwhile event !
