Together we can all make a difference.
There is truly a remarkable parallel between an ocean paddling voyage and the journey experienced by cancer patients and survivors. Both involve tremendous physical, mental and emotional strength. Both require patience and perseverance. And, ultimately, it takes a team to make the journey successful.
PADDLE FOR LIFE
It's not a race... it's a voyage, and all of our Maui ‘Ohana are invited to join us for the event. You can get your own team together or join a crew. Experience the Hawaiian Culture through paddling, ceremony, chants and community involvement!
"IMUA!"
Why I Paddle
Hawaiian
Tradition
The voyage is rich in ceremony: from hundreds of paddlers joined hand in hand during chants in Hawaiian, to a mile-long 260 pound locally handmade ti leaf lei carried from island to island as a symbol of peace, to a gift exchange of 'ulu (breadfruit) trees between island chiefs.
