(KAIR) -- A British adventurer, author and motivational speaker were in Atchison, taking a break from swimming in the Missouri River in an attempt to break a record and raise money for charity.
Dave Cornthwaite began his thousand mile journey in Chamberlain, South Dakota and St Louis, Missouri, towing his gear with him on a carbon fiber raft.
Dave and his team, all who will be paddling the full 1000 miles by Stand Up Paddleboard and Canoe, aim to raise 100 thousand English pounds for breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel!
He’s also created a social media campaign to inspire others to take on their own adventure.
His goal is to take 50 days and go 20 miles a day.
More information is available at www.davecornthwaite.com.
We will have more details from his visit shortly.
