A Wonderful Man & Inspiring Story for Leukemia Victims
Jon Kenyon, a family friend, was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous
Leukemia (AML) in 2005. Jon and his family had
an extremely difficult struggle but persevered and stayed strong
through it all. Jon and I shared a passion for sea kayaking and
I wanted to use this passion as a way to remember Jon and raise
money for research. I am completing this paddle for all those
sea kayakers like Jon who are not able to get out and enjoy the
ocean and all it has to offer and to support their recovery.
I have reached my initial goal of $10,000 but with Jon's passing
this year, I want to increase that goal to at least $15,000. Please
give generously. I thank you, Jon and his family thank you as
do the many others who will benefit from your donation.
