purpose of ourowntwohands

We are paddlers from the Pacific Northwest who completed a kayak expedition around the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska to raise money and awareness for the Cook InletKeeper, a non-profit organization working to protect waters quality the Kenai. Over 50% of the world's salmon are harvested from these waters.

The Kenai Peninsula is one of the most diverse ecosystems on our planet - home to brown and black bears, moose, caribou, migratory birds, wolves, humpback, beluga and killer whales, sea otters, sea lions, and all five species of wild pacific salmon.

Our 500 mile long journey began May 24 in Turnagain Arm in the Cook Inlet and concluded in Whittier on June 22, 2008. By donating to this cause, you will help support the Cook Inlet Keeper.

So far we have raised $1,500 all from your contributions! Thanks so much!!

day 25 - auk bay

truly truly incredible progress as the team now enters yet another breathtaking area on the final stretch of this journey.






a note from matt's mom...
Hi, all

The paddlers are at Auk Bay in Bainbridge Passage. That means they're in Prince William Sound, so going should be good. Steve thinks that they could be in Whittier as soon as Sunday.

We'll be standing by for pickup services then, and wishing them a safe trip.

Love, Noël
