Lovely event / message from the Tri-State Chamber of Commerce:
HOPE FLOATS
Kayak River of Life
What are you doing at 8:30am on August 10th? We hope you can join us on the banks of the Delaware River at West End Beach in Port Jervis NY as we cheer on breast cancer survivor and advocate, Carolyn Choate as she embarks on a 300 mile river journey for breast cancer awareness, treatment & survival.
We had the pleasure of talking with Carolyn about her trip and encourage all of you to learn more about her fight and the important work of the late cancer researcher Dr. Angela Brody. Carolyn will be leaving the shores of Port Jervis around 9:00am.
Carolyn and her daughter Sydney will kayak 300 miles, while her husband follows on land in the camper taking video footage along the way with the goal of making a documentary about surviving cancer.
Whether you or a loved one has been touched by cancer, or if you want to just stop by to wish Carolyn a great trip, full of hope and adventure…come on down. Follow Kayak River of Life on Facebook !
