Stand Up Paddling for the Connecticut River Conservancy

In March of 2023, I set off the break the Guinness World Record for the fastest North to South cycle of South America. After narrowly escaping immense civil unrest with my best bud, Matt, we still had our hearts set on adventure. Several pints and delays later, completely sleep deprived, we hatched the idea to paddle the Connecticut River together.

This May, in support of the Connecticut River Conservancy, I'm going to set out on the first Stand Up Paddle the CT from source to sound.  Accompanied with Matt, and hopefully some of y'all too, we will explore the upper lakes and set off from Pittsburg the following day. Our goal is to raise funds and bring awareness to the great importance that this lake plays into a healthy New England ecosystem. 

Our goal is to raise $1,260 dollars. The river has a massive watershed of 11,260 square miles! Combined with the river touching 4 of 6 states and 99 towns within, this truly is New England's river. Please consider supporting our efforts how ever much you can!
