I have been a member of Lanakila Outrigger Canoe Club since 1988, Being part of this group has been inspiring and life changing!

This year, I am excited to use my passion for paddling as a way to raise money for a great cause! As a member of the Ocean of Hope (O2H) team, I have joined other outrigger canoe paddlers, as well as paddleboarders, who are training and racing to raise money for the Sarcoma Alliance.

The Sarcoma Alliance is a nonprofit organization whose sole purpose is to empower and educate those who suffer from sarcoma, a rare form of cancer. The Sarcoma Alliance provides an invaluable resource for those diagnosed with this rare and difficult cancer, as well as their family members, through guidance, education and support. This is a grass roots organization, where 100% of your donation will go towards those who suffer from cancer and to the resources which will help them.

On September 12, my team will be racing from Newport Beach to Catalina Island. We are dedicating our race to the Sea of People Affected by Cancer. Please take the time to make a donation to this to this wonderful cause and help make a difference.

Thanks, Jill
