Standing up Against Skin Cancer
On the morning of June 19th, 2008, Cocoa Beach resident Justin DeBree embarked on a challenging 18 day journey from Key Biscayne, FL up the East Coast to St. Mary's, Georgia. The expedition's goal is to raise money and awareness while promoting the World Skin Cancer Foundation's mission. The grueling 398 mile long journey will be done entirely on a stand up paddle board.
The last I was able to check Justin had made it all the way to St Augustine, and was anxious to finish up the last couple of legs. I've done the distance in a catamaran averaging over 10 knots and it is a struggle. I can't imagine getting on a SUP every day and putting in the miles like he has. Incredible. The reason Justin is doing this (using his precious vacation time) is to bring awareness to skin cancer. As surfers even if you are careful with sunscreen, after years of exposure you are going to become familiar with the skin doctor. (I just had a biopsy myself a few weeks ago). So take a look at this link and hit the "make a donation" link and give a few bucks to the World Skin Cancer Foundation. Keep it going Justin! Chuck ------------------------- One more time. |
