There is a young man by the name of Paul Ridley who is rowing the
Atlantic on behalf of cancer research. A teacher at our school has a
personal connection to Paul and wants the world to know about his
"odyssey." Here is information from his blogspot:
Paul Ridley is a 25-year-old resident of Stamford, Connecticut. His
rowing career began at Colgate University and he now trains out of
Norwalk River Rowing Association, in Norwalk, CT. In early 2001 he lost
his mother, Katherine Ridley, to malignant skin cancer. Later that year
his father, Mark Ridley, was diagnosed with prostate cancer, was
successfully treated, and is now cancer-free. Paul is poised to become
the third and youngest American to row any ocean solo and unsupported,
and is rowing in support of research at Yale Cancer Center. He can be
reached by e-mail at paul@rowforhope.com.
