After leaving a career with Nascar, he has decided to use his competitive drive and Marine Corp spirit to push through and help find a cure for Cyctic fibrosis.
your donation will get him there and cheer him across the finish line! He will be joining a stand up paddle board race across the OCEAN from the Bahamas to Miami!! 80 miles in one day!

from Gabe:
Guess what?! I have committed to raising awareness and funds by paddling 80 miles across the Atlantic Gulf Stream in one night to bring awareness to cystic fibrosis! Follow my journey here!

After a 17 year career in NASCAR as a mechanic and pit crew member, I decided to leave the sport in 2019. I still had a desire to push myself physically and compete.

In May of '21 I borrowed a friend's paddleboard to try it out on Lake Norman and instantly fell in love with being on the water and how fulfilling and physically demanding it was. I paddled daily, pushing myself to go further.

I decided to paddle 16 miles around the Pointe on Lake Norman in June. Soon after I learned about The Crossing for CF and I immediately knew what my next goal was. A father doing whatever it takes to help his daughter is a very touching story. I wanted to do my part by helping someone in need. It was time to paddle for a purpose.

Since then I have competed in several events on Lake Wylie. I've also paddled the length of Lake Norman, 30 miles. In January I plan on paddling 76 miles on the lake in preparation for The Crossing this June. My training also includes paddling every other day, weight lifting, hot yoga, pilates, running & hiking.

I want to thank everyone that has & will come across my path, for your support. Together we can make a difference in someone's life.

Please help me support Piper's Angels Foundation for cystic fibrosis by making a donation through my page. The process is fast, easy and secure.

Thanks so much for your support... and please don't forget to send this page to any friends you think might be interested in donating!
