Still processing everything from last night. I'll be sure and post a final number when we get everything tallied. Pam is still tracking down a few $ from some auction items and commitments.
Huge thanks to Mateo for speaking last night! His testimonial was amazing and really helped to complete the event. I got a few pictures emailed to me already... Have some more? Send them in and I'll post them
In 2001, ten young adults took to the rivers of Colorado in whitewater kayaks. For seven days, they learned the basics of the sport, eventually conquering Class III rapids before the week’s end. They were there to prove themselves and to prove a point: that cancer, no matter how aggressive, dormant, advanced, or invasive, would never be stronger than they were.
Since that week in 2001, First Descents has utilized whitewater kayaking and other outdoor adventure sports to promote emotional, psychological, and physical healing for over 500 young adults with cancer. In 2009 F.D. will host nine weeklong programs in six different states.
