Hello artists, dancers, friends, I am asking for your support for the 2026 Ohio River Way Challenge. My third ORW Challenge paddle.
As a dancer, choreographer, there is nothing quite as exciting as exploring and experiencing the 'nature of movement,' except, maybe . . . the excitement of being outdoors, exploring and experiencing the 'movement of nature.' Both center me internally and connect me to a shared universal experience way bigger than myself.
Help me on the 2026 ORW Challenge paddle trip in support of environmental stewardship, and waterway advocacy for the Ohio River in our own backyard.
The Ohio River Way is a designated, 308-mile National Water Trail following the borders of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Along the way, we’ve become a coalition that bridges communities to create a more vibrant, healthy region.
The Ohio River Way’s mission is to help people find adventure, inspire care for the land and water, and boost economies of vibrant Ohio River communities by building partnerships that promote safe, healthy outdoor recreation; education; & tourism.
The Ohio River Way Challenge is an interdisciplinary expedition designed to educate, connect, and celebrate the history, culture, and ecology of the Ohio River and its river towns. Through paddling, storytelling, community engagement, and shared adventure, participants embark on a journey to be inspired and expand upon the important work being done to improve the Ohio River and its neighboring communities.
Thank you for supporting my paddle on the 2026 Ohio River Way Challenge and the mission and work of the Ohio River Way!
