POSTPONED due to current times of uncertainty • We will update our campaign with a new paddle date when things calm down amongst the COVID-19 pandemic •
2020 Monster & Sea 24hr Paddle: MORRO BAY • We're at it for our 5th year in a row! On April 18th, we're starting the 24hr paddle at Coleman Beach at 0800. We'll paddle all day, through the night, and into the morning to finish at 0800 on the 19th. We have set a goal to help six SLO County families struggling with cancer. Last year our Morro Bay Paddle Team raised $8000. With the help of many generous donors, we were able to help 8 local families struggling with cancer. Our team delivered envelopes containing $1000 each to eight families! All donations stay local. A little history... About six years ago, a team of six stand up paddlers from the Pacific Northwest set out on a benevolent mission…their goal, to raise money for families dealing with cancer. Medical expenses are not the only burden a family has to bear when cancer rears its terrible head. Expenses from travel back and forth to appointments and treatments, food and lodging near specialty centers, childcare, loss of work and income…the list alone is overwhelming. With the support of their community, the six paddlers delivered envelopes to six families dealing with cancer. Each envelope contained two things: $1000 and a short note in a card. You may ask how does one deliver an envelope filled with $1000 to someone they may have never even met? As Troy Nebeker, founder of Monster & Sea and the M&S 24hr paddle describes,“Very simple. A knock on the door, slide it under and walk away. The card inside tells the story…it reads,“There is a community of people who are fighting for you. Our hope is this will give you a moment of peace in this crazy time.” - Lots of love from the Monster and Sea
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We will update this campaign as we are in more still waters.
Mahalo,
Teddy Borja Morro Bay-Paddle Team Captain #GoBecauseYouCan
