paddle fundraiser:

It all started in 2013 with a crazy idea to paddle the entire Neuse River in just a few days.

Little did Allen Williford and Paul Zais know the impact their decision would have at that time. As a result, to date, the ripple effect they created, has helped many First Responders, their families and launched a mission to assist countless more.

We invite you to join us on this journey down the Neuse River where you will arm yourself with the power of giving as you embark on this adventure for a cause greater than self. With each stroke you will push yourself to your absolute limits! Self-discovery is a side effect as you challenge both your mind and your body to complete the 193! You will learn a thing or two about yourself and we hope to provide you the perfect adventure to “Know your WHY”
