The Big Moo Canoe at Missouri River 340 (MR340)

Date: August 24-27 Location: Kansas City, MO - St. Louis, MO Join the herd and follow the Big Moo Canoe team as they participate in the Missouri River 340. The MR340 is an "ultra-marathon" canoe challenge that will take place from August 24-27, from Kansas City, MO, to St. Charles, MO. Through this experience we hope to bring awareness to the life-changing work Heifer International does worldwide. Please take a few minutes to learn more about the project, donate, and then join us on the river (even if just virtually). Your gift to Heifer is a tangible way to fight world hunger and poverty.

The MR340 team - Join the herd >> The MR340 team is lead by The Big Moo Canoe's Chief Paddling Officer Rob Bean. We hope to establish a 10 person squad of MR340 racers to participate on behalf of Heifer International and raise donations in their home communities.
