NYCkayaker The Hudson River Swim For Life

[William]

I went to their site to register my kayak support, but, and maybe my reading comprehension is shot to hell, but it looks as though those who volunteer their time and money geting to the event have to pay $25 to register? I sent some e-mails to the powers that be to clairify, or remove this fee ...  Oh, and I hope I don't get sickly sweet responses like 
"Oh, but it's for a good cause" ... (Dear Abby, Do I have a BA ?) 
Will / Teaneck  ... Where I'll take time over money anyday
