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 ! 

Join me in supporting the 15th Annual Kayak-a-thon, the signature fundraiser of All Out Adventures! 

On Sunday, September 10, approximately 100 paddlers of all ages and abilities will gather to kayak, canoe, and SUP from Sunderland to Hatfield to Northampton on the Connecticut River to raise funding and awarenes of adaptive outdoor recreation programs.

All Out Adventures is a Northampton, MA based nonprofit organization that facilitates about 180 outdoor recreation program each year throughout Massachusetts for veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities and their loved ones.  Through adaptive equipment, and high-trained staff, All Out Adventures works to break down barriers to participation in outdoor recreation.  Funds raised from the Kayak-a-thon support AOA's efforts to continue to provide these programs at no or low cost so that people of all ages and abilities can participate, regardless of financial means.
