Vancouver Island Circumnavigation to Honor Dorothy MacGregor

Support Breast Cancer Research

When I was 16, my Mom was trying to find ways for us to stay connected. Against my very strong teenage will she insisted we take canoeing lessons together. We both learned to love paddling, explore waterways, appreciating each other and enjoying the benefits of exercise. Now, 38 years later, I’m completely immersed in canoe/kayak. We lost her last spring to breast cancer and now honor her passion for life and paddling.

I’m about to embark on a Vancouver Island circumnavigation. To honor my mom, Dorothy MacGregor, I’ve dedicated the trip to her memory and partnered with the Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center, here in Seattle, to raise money for breast cancer research. The Hutchison Center is a world leader in cancer research.

You can also be part of this trip, as well as support a wonderful organization and its efforts to find a cure, by generously donating to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center on-line through the Vancouver Island Circumnavigation to honor Dorothy MacGregor webTribute. Please help us in this effort so we can free women of this terrible disease.

Because of the generosity of trip sponsors: Cascade Canoe & Kayak Centers, Inc., Current Designs Kayaks, Cascade Designs, Kokatat, and Epic Kayaks – 100% of the funds you donate will go to support breast cancer research, none will be used for trip expenses!

Please go to the following webTribute site to make you on-line donation.

Thank you very much for your interest in my trip and for your generous support of breast cancer research.

All the best,
Dan
