Hi everyone,

A friend had forwarded this onto me - its quite sad,

www.everydayhero.com.au/apaddle4littlewarriors


As you can read - Nathan will be paddling from Byron to Burleigh to raise money for very sick kids. I think this is an inspiring challenge, and thought this would be a peffect chance for us other SUPers to help, even the smallest contribution would go a long way! - my friends and i are putting some money togther and hope some of you are touched by this as much as i was!

I think this is great..and using the four different methods is a great way to do it.. You guys that live up that way should paddle alongside him for some of the way.

I'm sure there's a lot of the Breeze crew that will chip in a donation to help him reach his $5,000 target.

I just made a donation using PayPay and it only took a few seconds to do..and in my message I said I was another SUP'er and from the SeaBreez forum.

"A Paddle 4 Little Warriors will take place on July 17, 2009. Four different ocean craft will be used for the paddle including 17ft paddle board, OC1 outrigger, surf ski and a stand up racing board. I will alternate between craft approximately every 15km depending on the conditions on the day."

This is a great cause, I work on the hospital campus in an adjoining building to the Royal Children’s here in Brisbane and get to see a lot of the sick kids come and go each day, anything that can help the little sick people here each day is worth every cent.

Awesome, We are going to donate some money also- great idea about paddling along side - bit of support! I'll see if I can get the local SUPSA into it.

Hey there,

Im Nath Henderson, the guy doing the paddle from byron to burleigh " A Paddle 4 Little Warriors". Thanks so much for the support and kind wishes, its amazing how much help im recieving from the paddling community, stand up, paddleboard ect.

Im paddling a DC 16, one of Dale Chapmans racing boards, im actual borrowing it off a friend, Kelly Margetts. Its probably the hardest craft for me as im from a board paddling back ground, but im realy enjoying catching bumps standing up.

If anyones paddling on the weekend at the Honolua race on the goldy ill see you there.

cheers, nath.
