Try Charleston
TryCharleston is April 15. LAPS is a beneficiary again this year. Shannon Walsh O'Brien is in charge of water safety and they need kayakers or paddle boarders on the water. Race start time is 7:00. Water support needs to report at 6:15 am at KOA on 17th north. You will be on the water from 6:45 - 8:15/30ish.
If you are available, please contact her asap so that she can finalize the support team.
It’s fun even though it is early! I would so appreciate your help!
