Kayakers who want to help find a cure for cancer are preparing for their third annual fundraising paddle Aug. 17 at English Bay.

This year, Kayak for a Cure™ has set its goal for $50,000 and expanded its scope to include events in Victoria, as well as Columbus, Ohio.

“This year’s event will be the largest in our short history. We have grown from our first year with 15 paddlers to a multi-city event,” founder Mark Starkey said in a news release.

Starkey founded Kayak for a Cure™ after learning 3 1/2 years ago that his grandmother had been diagnosed with a form of leukemia.
