Dean Story & Michael Kiernan:
Paddling for Organ Donation Awareness and Canteen
Hi Team
Inspired by the many legends in our board training group, Michael Kiernan and I are paddling the 55km Molokai race this year (July). To provide some extra motivation we are paddling for a couple of causes - to promote awareness about organ donation and raise money for a non-profit org 'Canteen' who helps kids with cancer.
If at all possible could you:
1) Check out the website below to see what we are doing and forward to any friends/contacts (to spread the word about organ donation)
2) Check out the organ donation website www.donatelife.gov.au and consider being a donor (note: if you are a donor already on your license, please ensure your family are aware of your wishes - as many donations don't occur due to lack of family awareness)
3) If you are planning on paddling the Molokai (or other Hawaiian races) and want to join the 'project team' please let me know and I can add you as a team member on the website and you can then promote and raise awareness/funds with your contacts and your own add blogs etc (all linked back to the one website).
THE PROJECT WEBSITE IS: www.everydayhero.com.au/dean_storey
Happy New Year
