Ladies invited: DC Version of the Worldwide Green River Takeover, at Little Falls

 

On August 22, 2020 Ladies' Green River Takeover organizers are asking that women across the world get out and paddle on their local runs with their favorite lady friends. After a great day on the river with friends, we will all come in a virtual setting (zoom meeting) for a presentation by Darcy Gaechter, the first woman to paddle the Amazon River from Source to Sea and the author of "Amazon Woman," her memoir of the experience. And finally, we'll top off the day with a huge raffle (which includes two Dagger kayaks!) to raise money for the Shannon Christy and Live Like Maria Memorial Funds. To help get you in the spirit, we've pulled together women from all over to help share a special message. Make sure and watch until the very end of the video to get a peak of the 2020 Worldwide Green River Takeover sticker which you can receive for free by purchasing a raffle ticket! Raffle details can be found at the Takeover websitehttp://greenrivertakeover.com/ and register here for the Worldwide Takeover!
