Starfish 23

Race page that also has gps tracking of eventHello, my name is Dirk McCall. I am paddling in the Alabama 650 September 21st. It is 650 miles (1047 km.) through the state of Alabama to the Gulf of Mexico. Click here for Alabama650 paddle race. The local charity that I am raising funds for is Starfish23, a 501 non-profit that helps kids financially in sports activities. Through no cost participation; professional training, scholarship placement and emergency funds, they help the kids who need it the most in rural Alabama.

You or your company will receive a 100% tax deduction on this as all funds from this GoFundMe go directly to Starfish23. Click here for the full Starfish23 story

A man walking along the beach found a girl picking up starfish and was tossing them back into the sea. He told her the surf break was filled with them and what she was doing would not make a difference. She paused and said, "It made a difference for that one."

I've seen over the years how this organization has made life changing impact with children. Athletics is just the vehicle that carries hope to these kids. My mother passed recently and she encouraged me to use my body as much as I could; so that's the other reason why I'm doing it. Thank you.
