Biggest Adventure A few years ago I packed up everything I owned, and split it between a storage unit and a van – everyday living on the road is an adventure!
Paddle Pink Last year I started a program called Paddle Pink, in which I hosted a series of clinics across North America and donated 100% of the proceeds to Susan G Komen for the Cure. I hope 2010 will be even bigger and better!
