Canoeing 2000 miles to Cure Blindness

After canoeing the length of the Mississippi River, Deb, Deb and Anne want to challenge themselves by paddling north. We plan to paddle the route once canoed by Eric Severeid all the way to Hudson Bay. We want to do this because it will be difficult, and we want to show support for people who accomplish difficult things. Like the amazing people at the Himalayan Cataract Project.
