Kayaking for Kids a CHIPS fundraiser

These three guys have walked the length of Alabama, now they are going to Kayak from Montgomery to Mobile down the Alabama river for kids! These three guys have such huge hearts and give unselfishly of there time to do this. In order of the pictures below: Allen, Mark and Brent you are truly blessed with amazing hearts!

The Mayor of Montgomery spoke and read a declaration as well as Lou spoke for the Governor of Alabama and read a state wide declaration. The declaration was stating that the two week time frame that it would take these men to travel 333.10 miles would be know as the Kayaking for Kids days.

A former Alabama football player Roger Schultz who had recently lost 363 lbs who is also a friend of Brent's came and spoke as well. Mark was given a "Wilson" made by a friend and his daughter to take along on the trip.

The CHIPS gang that was there included: Lou Lacey our director, Lucinda Armstrong and Kristin Lowery two of our Social Workers, Katcha(Lucinda's best friend), Cherry (Lou's friend) and myself.
