The Mississippi Challenge 2013

On June 5th 2013, Sam Norman, Matt Fraser and Harry Hogg will start their epic journey down the Mississippi river from source to sea by kayak.

This 2400 mile journey will take 3 months of non-stop paddling to complete and will be completely self-sufficient.

The main purpose of the trip is to raise money for the fantastic charity, Help for Heros. Help for Heroes was set up October 2007 out of a desire to provide support to those members of the armed forces that are injured in current conflicts.

The group will be passing through St. Francisville around Noon on Friday and they may need our help! Requests for fresh water jugs have been posted as well as requests for encouraging waves and signs from locals along the way.

For more information on the rest of the trip, the personalities and how to get involved please continue to explore the website and find out more!
