Stand-up Paddleboarder to Cover Length of Irondequoit Bay and Back August 3 For Support of RMSC Partner
Anika LaLopa, the first solo female to stand-up paddleboard
Irondequoit Bay out to Lake Ontario and Back, end-to-end, non-stop will do so
in order to raise funds for H2O Hero Project and the Water Education
Collaborative (WEC)—a partner of Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC). WEC
is a Rochester based coalition that serves to protect and improve water quality
in the lakes and streams of the Genesee regional watershed of Lake Ontario. The
trip is 8.5 miles an estimated 5-7 hours of paddle time. Her goal is to do it
close to 5 hours. LaLopa seeks to help raise awareness about the importance of
water quality and conservation, to build compassion and a caring attitude
toward the health of our bay and its wildlife, and to inspire others.
Anika LaLopa, fitness
professional, yoga teacher, stand-up paddleboard athlete, lover of nature and
the water.
