It’s that time again. The countdown for the annual Castaways Against Cancer trip is on – only 20 days left. I sure hope the winds calm down by then.

Here’s the brief description: We are a team that paddles from Miami to Key West in order to raise money for the American Cancer Society. It takes us 7 days to get there and we paddle between 22 and 27 miles per day. The best part of it all is that the money we raise goes straight to the American Cancer Society.

Here’s the link to our website: http://www.castawaysagainstcancer.com/Main.html

There’s a great video of last year’s trip on the home page. If you take a few minutes to watch it (and I hope you will) keep an eye out for the guy in the wooden kayak, that’s me. I was caught on camera attempting a roll (successfully) with my fully loaded kayak.

Please sponsor me. The fight against cancer is a tough one, but with some help, we can make a difference. The direct link to my donation page is below.

Thank you,

Pedro Almeida (Pete)
