Please Help Me Support Kiteboard 4 Cancer

All my readers,

On July 9th I will be participating in the 5th annual Kiteboard 4 Cancer event at the Hood River event site in Oregon.  It will involve a 6-hour endurance race where I will try to complete as many laps as possible in that time period.  The goal of Kiteboard 4 Cancer is to raise money for advocacy, prevention, and survivorship programs.  Kiteboard 4 Cancer is under an umbrella of multiple events known this year as the Tenacity Games, which will include a stand-up paddleboarding event and kiteboarding relay race.

If any of you are willing to make a donation, please visit my donation page:

I participated in this event in 2008 and it was a joy to gather with other kiteboarders to raise money for the battle against this difficult disease.  Here are some pics from 2008:









This is in memory of my Uncle Bob Raper and grandfather Glenn Van Wieringen, who both passed away from cancer.

Thank you for helping me to support this cause.

Sincerely,

James
