Rob is an ordinary, outdoorsy kind of guy who loves paddling and helping others. He lives in Fort Collins with his wife, Tracey, and two wonderful children, Megan and Lucas. He's originally from Ohio, where his passion for paddling took hold as a teenager. And you name it - canoeing, kayaking, sculling, rafting - Rob was doing it. Even during the winter months. During the day, Rob is the interactive director at Burns Marketing Communications (www.burnsmarketing.com). And when he's not working or spending time with his family, he's training for The Big Moo Canoe.

Erin is currently a Contract Billing Specialist with an IP law firm, SKGF, in Washington, DC (finally putting that Finance degree to work). She's taking a summer break to race in her first MR340. Never one to waste an opportunity to aid others; she asks for your sponsorship.

Rudy hales from Belton, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City, and a stones throw from the Kaw Point where the MR340 begins. He's currently enjoying retired life in the out-of-doors after a career in the US Army and his service in Vietnam. Besides paddling, Rudy spends his time participating in numerous 5 and 10K runs in and around Kansas City and enjoying his three daughters and six grandchildren. Rudy is looking forward to paddling for Heifer in the 2010 race and would appreciate your support in his fund raising efforts.

Donate to Brad's Goal »»
Brad is a Minnesota native and graduate of the University of Minnesota who has called Missouri home for the last 20 years. Every one of those spent exploring and canoeing the Missouri Ozark Rivers with his 3 children Ryan, Michael and Elizabeth. An article about the MR340 in the Missouri Conservation Magazine sparked his interest and he signed up as a personal challenge. Now a 2 time veteran, Brad says "you get tested physically and mentally during this race and you learn a lot about yourself". He is excited that his time on the river as part of Team Big Moo Canoe for Heifer International could raise funds for a worthwhile cause. Help him buy a cow...he asks for your sponsorship.
