Paddling the Yukon River (1600 km) for Woman of Afghanistan

I am a professor at the University of Saskatchewan. On July 18, 2011 I embark on a 1600 km kayak race from Yukon to Alaska. It is the longest race in the world http://www.yukon1000.com/. I will be the first to attempt it solo and unsupported (with a safety boat). Why? To remind myself that boundaries are unlimited and to raise funds to develop educational and entrepreneurial skills for Afghan women through Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan (www.CW4WAfghan.ca).Please support our cause!
