Kiteboarding 4 Cancer!

Post by wakehappy » Thu Jun 30, 2016 3:17 pm

Hey Fam,

Sharing the love...

The 10th annual Kiteboarding 4 Cancer event is happening in 2 weeks up at the Gorge, and my good buddy Chris has taken it upon himself to help young cancer survivors find the healing and support they need. He's trying to raise $2,000, so if y'all have a few bucks laying around let's help him reach his goal!!

Chris started kiting last season and just turned 26. He's from the great state of Indiana and kiting has become his passion. He's a regular at Alameda, so many of you probably already know him by his massive grin and positive attitude. In March he went to Hatteras and had his first day riding upwind... he's suuuuper stoked on kiting.

Here's his donation page: https://donate.athletes4cancer.org/fund ... cid=661201

And here's the event info, videos, etc: https://donate.athletes4cancer.org/hood ... ion/e74762

He's also contributing a recycled kiteboard with his own artwork to be sold at auction...
