This summer, I’m proud to join the Desatnick Foundation Paddle to raise awareness and support for individuals living with spinal cord injuries and disorders. The Desatnick Foundation does incredible work providing resources, advocacy, and adaptive recreational opportunities that help people live full, empowered lives after injury.
I’m a lifelong water woman, Lanakila paddler, and founder of Shore Swim. I’ve seen how water, movement, and community can heal. From coaching toddlers through their first strokes to racing in open water, I believe in the ocean’s power to transform lives. This paddle is my way of giving that gift back—paddling to uplift every comeback story and support those navigating life after spinal cord injury.
I’m paddling in the 15 mi race, and I’d be so grateful for your support. Every donation—big or small—helps the Desatnick Foundation continue its life-changing programs, from peer mentorship to adaptive surfing.
Let’s paddle together toward a more inclusive and supportive world.
