The Reno Junvenile Diabetes Research Fund Walk for the Cure is on Sunday, October 12th at the University of Nevada, Reno campus on the main quad. Each years it’s a fun even with plenty of activities and diabetes-friendly food for the whole family. Each year after I was diagnosed at the age of 3, my team and I walk and raise as much money as we can to find a cure for diabetes.

My Dad and I in Trouble Maker

This week I finally got to try my Dynamic Duo! My Dad and I took it out on the South Fork of the American’s Chili Bar section with my Mom and our friends Colin and Hope Kemp. We had a blast! It was super stable and maneuverable and sliced through the holes like butter. We added two 200 bean Happy Seats and another set of hip pads so I could paddle it and both Dad and I were very comfortable. I started out kayaking class 2 rivers at the age of 3 in a tandem whitewater kayak and transitioned to my first Fun 1when I was 4. My parents were amazed at how I could eddy in and out and ferry on my own as well as read water which I had learned from kayaking in a Duo with my Dad. The Dynamic Duo is the perfect learning and training tool for anyone who wants to get on the water, and especially great for introducing your kids to one of the most fun sports a family can participate in!
