On Board Paddling Fundraising Event for Cancer

Welland, ON - While the middle of March with ice still on the water and snow still on the ground might not seem like the time to be talking about stand-up paddle boarding, Welland native Maddie Leblanc is doing just that.  This summer, she’s hosting her fourth annual On Board fundraising event, which raises money for the Canadian Cancer Society and brain cancer research.  At last year’s event, she said there were five paddlers and 50 to 100 people that showed up to show their support from the land.  “I would love to see more paddlers out there,” Leblanc said.  Although the event focuses on paddle boarding since that’s the kind of paddling Leblanc does, it is open to all kinds of paddlers.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
