It seems that this page is now been repaired and I can once again access the menus and change things around. I may be
bring this back as out home page as it was originally.
I realized when that our logo would have to encompass a few different
things and express the groups we work with as well, not an easy task. However the Paddler's Ribbon is what I came up
with and we feel it works well. The Green Ribbon is the Kidney Foundations symbol of Life and we have arranged it into a kayak
paddle, representing our chosen method of travelling in support of the Foundation. The twin blades serve two purposes representing
both the Organ Donor and the Recipient as well as the sports of Canoeing and Kayaking our favourite fund raising tools. The
paddle shaft represents the permanent connection between the Paddlers and the Kidney Foundation, the donor and the recipient
and canoeing and kayaking our favourite sports. With the addition of other chapters as we grow we like to think that the Paddle
shaft also represents the permenant connection between the chapters. When you think of this symbol you think of us and
we appreciate your thoughts. Greg

Something to think about
Probably not the first thing on your might but perhaps you should consider this little fact. In Canada
at the moment an estimated 2.1 million Canadians have chronic Kidney Disease and do not know it. There are no tell-tale
symptoms with Kidney disease and many discover this fact after it can't be helped. Please sign your Donor Card, carry
it with you and "Recycle Yourself" as thousands wait for the help.
Another sad but ture fact is that Canada loses 53% of it's donated organs to Family refusal after
death. This is perfectly legal but we feel very unfortunate and would like to see the law changed on this. The Paddlers
would prefer to see non consentually donation automatically upon death and option now under consideration in Ontario. All
those apposed could carry a Do Not Harvest card. This approach is having great success in Europe.

The Paddlers President
and one lucky Fellow
Pictured to our left is Greg Loftus, President of the Paddlers and the mastermind
behind the concept. Greg survived a double Kidney Transplant in 1997 and a stroke in the spring of 2004. This is the Paddler's
way of saying "Thanks" for a second chance.
We are a small group based in Yellowknife, NWT and Ontario at the present
time, but hope to include many members from across Canada and the World in time. We have some support from friends in Europe
and slowly we grow. Please contact us with your questions as we would be pleased to assist in any way that we can. We look
forward to responding and perhaps having you join the ranks. Kidney disease is a very sneaky fellow and you never know when
or who it will strike next.
