Kayak for a Cure™ started in 2006 when our team lead, Mark, learned of his grandmother’s diagnosis of Mylenoma Leukemia. Having just moved to Vancouver from Youngstown, Ohio, Mark wanted to start an organization in his grandmother’s honor bringing both his passion of helping others, and his passion for outdoor adventure together. Kayak for a Cure™ was launched in 2006 and now runs charity kayak events supporting cancer research and prevention for local charities close to our hearts.
