NYCkayaker The Hudson River Swim For Life

[Richard Clifford]

NYCKayaker:

    My response to anyone troubled by a "fee" to kayakers for helping 
with this swim is contained  in my email to Will. (below). It is not 
about the event or charities being  "a good cause." Rather, it is all 
about these are really devastating illnesses. And, we have an 
opportunity to help on several levels.

     I believe that it won't cause anyone to go into insulin shock. We 
are looking for experienced kayakers and this list is a great resource. 
- Richard Clifford

    Will,
        It is a charity for a very good cause. They are asking everyone
    who is able to contribute. Thus, the fee even for kayakers. Same
    level: the swimmers pay a fee to swim across the river.
        If you would like to participate but have a financial problem
    with the fee then please send a note to Diandra asking her to waive
    the fee. Any other reasons objecting to the fee and it comes down to
    one of those things where we just move on to something else. I hope
    to see you out there. Many thanks. Richard Clifford

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
