Kiteboard 4 Cancer In Hood River This Weekend

Kiteboard 4 Cancer will celebrate on Saturday the tenth year of a grueling six-hour Kite Derby endurance race designed to embody the battle cancer survivors and fighters face every day.  More than 200 professional, semi-professional and hobbyist kiteboarders will be in Hood River for the race that benefits Athletes 4 Cancer survivorship camps.  The weekend will also feature more than ten bands, local food and brews, silent art auctions and other family-friendly activities.  The theme is #NoWaitlist.  When fundraising for Kiteboard 4 Cancer 2016 began, Athletes 4 Cancer had 112 survivors on a waitlist to attend the group’s Camp Koru.   It is down to 54, and the goal is to make it zero by the end of Sunday.  A complete schedule of events is available at kiteboarding4cancer.org.
