Ontario Paddlers / International Supporters

This is a list of our friends and supporters as well.It includes a few folks and there are more. I was surprised at the support we got and at times continue to get. This is great, Organ and Tissue donation is a area that few folks like to talk about but that really needs to be addressed.
