You’ll want to read about this inspiring young man, Justin Riney, who paddle-boarded 2500 miles around Florida to help raise funds for water conservation.

Along the way Justin organized cleanups of waterways and took some incredible photos — there’s a link in the article. Justin “stepped off the ledge,” took a chance and decided to make a difference in the world.  It can be done, and he proved it.

Can you imagine exploring Florida on a paddle-board? In this article he talks about his close encounter with alligators. Also his future plans. I’m so impressed with him, and I think that you will be, too.
